Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. We describe the form of all surjective maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R}) $, $n\geq 3$, that preserve the minus partial order in both directions.
Let $\mathcal{R}$ be a unital ring with involution. The notions of 1MP-inverse and MP1-inverse are extended from $M_{m,n}(\mathbb{C)}$, the set of all $m\times n $ matrices over $\mathbb{C}$, to the set $\mathcal{R}% ^{\dagger}$ of all Moore-Penrose invertible elements in $\mathcal{R}$. We study partial orders on $\mathcal{R}^{\dagger}$ that are induced by 1MP-inverses and MP1-inverses. We also extend to the setting of Rickart $\ast $-rings the concept of another partial order, called the plus order, which has been recently introduced on the set of all bounded linear operators between Hilbert spaces. Properties of these relations are investigated and some known results are thus generalized.
The minus partial order is already known for sets of matrices over a field and bounded linear operators on arbitrary Hilbert spaces. Recently, this partial order has been studied on Rickart rings. In this paper, we extend the concept of the minus relation to the module theoretic setting and prove that this relation is a partial order when the module is regular. Moreover, various characterizations of the minus partial order in regular modules are presented and some well-known results are also generalized.
Let $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ be the cone of all positive semidefinite $n\times n$ real matrices. Two of the best known partial orders that were mostly studied on subsets of square complex matrices are the Löwner and the minus partial orders. Motivated by applications in statistics we study these partial orders on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$. We describe the form of all surjective maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$, $n>1$, that preserve the Löwner partial order in both directions. We present an equivalent definition of the minus partial order on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$ and also characterize all surjective, additive maps on $H_{n}^{+}(\mathbb{R})$, $n\geq3$, that preserve the minus partial order in both directions.
