The zero-term rank of a matrix is the minimum number of lines (row or columns) needed to cover all the zero entries of the given matrix. We characterize the linear operators that preserve the zero-term rank of the m × n integer matrices. That is, a linear operator T preserves the zero-term rank if and only if it has the form T(A)=P(A ∘ B)Q, where P, Q are permutation matrices and A ∘ B is the Schur product with B whose entries are all nonzero integers.
Keywords: linear operator, term-rank, zero-term rank, (P,Q,B)-operator
