This class of matrices contains the totally positive matrices, and was first studied by Schoenberg in 1930 to characterize variation diminution, a fundamental property in total positivity theory. In this article, we classify all surjective linear mappings (Formula presented.) that preserve: (i) sign regularity and (ii) sign regularity with a given sign pattern, as well as (iii) strict versions of these.falseArticle14692120202500WOS:001590684400001
