摘要
We define an m-involution to be a matrix K ∈ Cn×n for which Km -= I. In this article, we investigate the class Sm （A） of m-involutions that commute with a diagonalizable matrix A E Cn×n. A number of basic properties of Sm （A） and its related subclass Sm （A, X） are given, where X is an eigenvector matrix of A. Among them, Sm （A） is shown to have a torsion group structure under matrix multiplication if A has distinct eigenvalues and has non-denumerable cardinality otherwise. The constructive definition of Sm （A, X） allows one to generate all m-involutions commuting with a matrix with distinct eigenvalues. Some related results are also given for the class S,, （A） of m-involutions that anti-commute with a matrix A ∈ Cnn×n.
