✦ Synopsis
In this paper we consider two physically relevant numerical quantities (namely, the concurrence and -fidelity) and an operation (called ♦-product) defined on the set of all quantum states or density operators. Our main aim is to present the complete descriptions of all bijective transformations which preserve any of these quantities or operation.

Classical results by Behrend, Erdös, Pillai, Szemerédi, the authors, and others are improved and extended to other concepts of densities in two directions, based on smooth and multiplicative weightings.

New algorithms for calculating the most parsimonious state sets for polytomies under Fitch parsimony are described. Because they are based on state set operations, these algorithms can be extended for optimization of several characters in parallel, thus increasing speed by a significant factor. This
