Abstract :
In this paper we obtain some characterizations of linear operators that preserve term rank of Boolean matrices. With certain conditions, we prove that for a linear operator T on the Boolean matrix space, T preserves term rank if and only if T preserves two consecutive term ranks if and only if T strongly preserves just one term rank.
