This class of matrices contains the totally positive matrices, and was first studied by Schoenberg (1930) to characterize Variation Diminution (VD), a fundamental property in total positivity theory. In this note, we classify all surjective linear mappings L:Rm�n?Rm�n that preserve: (i) sign regularity and (ii) sign regularity with a given sign pattern, as well as (iii) strict versions of these.en-USe-Printe-Print123456789/555
