Strong union-closed sets conjecture for matrices

Let FF be a reduced union-closed matrix, let FTF^T be its transpose, and let F\overline{F} be the characteristic matrix of the complements of the represented sets. Write ΣX\Sigma X for the sum of all entries of XX. Matrix difference formulation of the strong union-closed sets conjecture.

Σ[FFT]Σ[FFT],\Sigma[FF^T] \ge \Sigma[F\overline{F}^T], Σ[FFT]Σ[FFT].\Sigma[FF^T] \ge \Sigma[\overline{F}F^T].

The source obtains this formulation by translating the difference form of the strong union-closed sets conjecture into characteristic-matrix notation.
