Let F q be a finite field with q elements, n (≥ 2) a positive integer, Mat n (q) the set of all n× n matrices over F q, R (n, q) the set of all rank one upper triangular matrices in Mat (n, q). The zero-divisor graph of Mat n (q), written as Γ (Mat n (q)), is a directed graph with vertex set all nonzero zero-divisors of Mat n (q), and there is a directed edge from a vertex A to a vertex B, written as A→ B, if and only if A B= 0. In this paper, we determine the automorphisms of an induced subgraph, written as Γ (R (n, q)), of Γ (Mat n (q)) with vertex set R (n, q). The main theorem of this article proves that a bijective map σ on R (n, q) with n≥ 3 is an automorphism of Γ (R (n, q)) if and only if σ (X)= a X P− 1 [π (x i j)] P,∀ X=[x i j]∈ R (n, q), where a X∈ F q⁎ depends on X; P is an invertible upper triangular matrix; π is an automorphism of the field F q,[π (x i j)] denotes the matrix whose (i, j)-entry is π (x i j).
