The concrete problem is this: Find triplets of distinct matrices $(A,B,C)$ of dimension $6\times 6$ over the field $\mathbb{F}_{2^2}$ such that:

  1. $A^2B=AB^2$
  2. $C^2A=CA^2$
  3. $B^3C=BC^3$

However, I'm also interested in how this can be done in a more general setting at least with other sets of equations; for now I can assume I always need triplets of square matrices of small dimension over a small finite field.

If it can be done with a well-known computer algebra system (esp. SAGE) it will be great.

    Do you have any objection against taking $A=B=C$?2012-04-05

    Yes, I should have said so explicitly.2012-04-05

    You do realize that if you want the matrices to be invertible, then the first equation implies $A=B$, the second implies $C=A$, and the third implies that $B^2=C^2$, which is actually a consequence of the two earlier ones. If you don't insist that the matrices should be invertible, then the easiest way is to follow azimut.2013-08-21
