Linear maps preserving the Lorentz spectrum of 3 3 matrices

Abstract: For a given

3 i m e s 3

real matrix

A

, the eigenvalue complementarity problem relative to the Lorentz cone consists of finding a real number

l a m b d a

and a nonzero vector

x i n m a t h b b R^{3}

such that

x^{T} (A - l a m b d a I) x = 0

and both

x

and

(A - l a m b d a I) x

lie in the Lorentz cone, which is comprised of all vectors in

m a t h b b R^{3}

forming a

4 5^{c} i r c

or smaller angle with the positive

z

-axis. We refer to the set of all solutions

l a m b d a

to this eigenvalue complementarity problem as the Lorentz spectrum of

A

. Our work concerns the characterization of the linear preservers of the Lorentz spectrum on the space

M_{3}

of

3 i m e s 3

real matrices, that is, the linear maps

p h i : M_{3} o M_{3}

such that the Lorentz spectra of

A

and

p h i (A)

are the same for all

A

. We have proven that all such linear preservers take the form

p h i (A) = (Q o p l u s [1]) A (Q^{T} o p l u s [1])

, where

Q

is an orthogonal

2 i m e s 2

matrix.
