This paper proves that the linear transformation [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] has the (asymptotic) average shadowing property if and only if [Formula: see text] is hyperbolic, where [Formula: see text] is a nonsingular matrix, giving a positive answer to a question in [Lee, 2012a]. Besides, it is proved that [Formula: see text] does not have the [Formula: see text]-shadowing property, thus does not have the ergodic shadowing property for every nonsingular matrix [Formula: see text].
