Involutive solutions of the Yang-Baxter-like matrix equation -- theory and algorithms

Abstract

We find all explicit involutive solutions $X \in \mathbb C^{n \times n}$ of the Yang-Baxter-like matrix equation $AXA=XAX$, where $A \in \mathbb C^{n \times n}$ is a given involutory matrix. The construction is algorithmic.
