摘要

The total graph of the space of m × n matrices over a field 𝔽 is the graph with the set of vertices Mm×n(𝔽) in which distinct matrices A and B are connected by an edge if and only if rank(A+B) < min(m, n). It is proved that over a field of order q, where q is a power of an odd prime, the clique number of the total graph of 2 × n matrices is qn, whereas that of 3 × 3 matrices is O(q6). Up to now, this issue has only been examined for 2 × 2 matrices.
