Abstract
In this paper we first consider the question which nonnegative matrices are commutators of nonnegative square-zero matrices. Then, we treat infinite-dimensional analogues of these results for operators on the Banach lattices and (). In the last setting we need to extend the notion of the nonnegative rank of a nonnegative matrix.
