  • Let $F$ be the finite field of order $q$ and $\M(n,r, F)$ be the set of $n\times n$ matrices of rank $r$ over the field $F$. For $α\in F$ and $A\in \M(n,F)$, let $$Z^α_{A,r}=\left\{X\in \M(n,r, F)\mid \tr(AX)=α\right \}.$$ In this article, we solve the problem of determining the cardinality of $Z_{A,r}^α$. We also solve the generalization of the problem to rectangular matrices.
