$ I_2 =((1,0),(0,1))$ the identity matrix ( 2x2) .

Ok, your relationship expresses in synthetic way my conditions

$ I_2 =((1,0),(0,1))$ the identity matrix ( 2x2) .

The conditions required for square matrix A, B to commute is :
$A = alpha.B +beta*I_2 $ . for $(2x2 )$matrices. $AA alpha , beta in RR $
Let's check if the condition indicated by nicasamarciano and this one are equivalent ..

Which is $I_2$?

I don't know whether Camillo considers the characterization given above as a solution for his question.
If yes, then: :drinkers:
If not, :(



Yes of course I do consider a solution for the question , as well as nicasamarciano one :D .

Further question :-D : Which are, in synthesis, the conditions required for two square matrices A , B to commute ?[/quote]
In synthesis the condition for which $(A+B)^2=A^2+2AB+B^2$ is obviously $AB=BA$ and this condition can be expressed through the following relationship between their coefficients.
That is, fixed $B=((a,b),(c,d))$, the coefficient of the matrix $A=((x,y),(z,t))$ must satisfy these relationships:
${(y/z=b/c),(t-x=(d-a)*(z/c)):}$

Correct.

$(A+B)^2 = (A+B)(A+B) = A^2 + AB + BA + B^2$

so,

$(A+B)^2 = A^2+2AB+B^2$

iff:

$A^2 + AB + BA + B^2 = A^2+2AB+B^2$

i.e. iff:

$AB = BA$

it is easy to provide a (numerical) example of matrices which do not commute

PS: While I was using the preview I saw that nicasamarciano goes on with his calculations. So, maybe his post supersedes mine. Anyway, I had already written mine, so I post it anyway.

$A = ((x, y), (z, t))$
$B = ((a, b), (c, d))$
$(A+B)^2=(A+B)(A+B)=(((a + x)^2 + (b + y)(c +z), (d + t)(b + y)+(a + x)(b + y)),((d + t)(c+z) +(a + x)(c +z),(d + t)^2 +(b + y)(c + z)))$
$A^2=((x^2 + y z, t y + x y), (t z + x z, t^2 + y z))$
$B^2=((a^2 + b c, a b + b d), (a c + c d, b c + d^2))$
$A*B=((a x + c y, b x + d y), (c t + a z, d t + b z))$
Now $(A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB$ $<=>$
1)$(a + x)^2 + (b + y)(c +z)=x^2 + y z+a^2 + b c+2(a x + c y)$
2)$(d + t)(b + y)+(a + x)(b + y)=t y + x y+a b + b d+2(b x+ d y)$
3)$(d + t)(c+z) +(a + x)(c +z)=t z + x z+a c + c d+2(c t + a z)$,
4)$(d + t)^2 + (b + y)(c + z)=t^2 +yz+ b c + d^2 +2(d t + b z)$
Now the first and the fourth equations impose the same condition $bz=cy $, while the second imposes $y(d-a)=b(t-x)$ and the third imposes $z(d-a)=c(t-x)$.
Therefore the final conditions so that $(A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB $ are:
${(y/z=b/c),(t-x=(d-a)*(z/c)):}$
Practically, fixed the matrix $B $, the coefficients of the matrix $A $ have to be selected so that to satisfy the two conditions ${(y/z=b/c),(t-x=(d-a)*(z/c)):} $ to have $(A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB $.
For this reason if only 1 of the two conditions is not satisfied, we have $(A+B)^2!=A^2+B^2+2AB $.
Numerical example
$B=((1,2),(3,4)) $
Now $y/z=2/3 $, therefore we choose for instance $y=4 $and $z=6 $. Besides another condition must be satisfied and that is $t-x=6 $ and for this reason we choose $x=0 $ and $t=6 $ for example.
Making the calculations we find that $(A+B)^2=A^2+B^2+2AB=((55,66),(99,154)) $.
But if for instance $y/z!=2/3 $, that is we choose $y=4 $ and $z=0 $, and the same values for $x$ and $t$, $x=0$ and $t=6$ then $(A+B)^2!=A^2+B^2+2AB $. Infact in this case
$(A+B)^2=((19,66),(33,118))$ while $A^2+B^2+2AB=((7,66),(15,130))$

I think he means the product of the matrix with itself.

_nicola de rosa
what do you intend with the exponent 2? the square of every element of the matrix or the product of the matrix with itself?

I will try as soon as possible, but I don't know if my capabilities will be enough.
It's since 2001 that I haven't been studying linear algebra.

Camillo
Nobody wants to try ?
