Abstract

It is known that if A and B are nontriangular 2 × 2 non-negative integral matrices similar over the integers and –tr A ≤det A, then A and B are strongly shift equivalent. Suppose that A and B are 2 × 2 non-negative integral matrices similar over the integers. In this article it is shown that if –2 tr A≤det A <– tr A and if | det A | is not a prime, then A and B are strongly shift equivalent.
