Abstract

In this paper we study the concept of Latin-majorizati-\\on. Geometrically this concept is different from other kinds of majorization in some aspects. Since the set of all $x$s Latin-majorized by a fixed $y$ is not convex, but, consists of union of finitely many convex sets. Next, we hint to linear preservers of Latin-majorization on $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ and ${M_{n,m}}$.
