Abstract

This paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for a matrix in SL(2, Z) to be conjugate to its inverse. This condition reduces the determination of the conjugation to solving some indeterminate equation of second degree. It yields an algorithm to determine this conjugation in finite steps based on the elementary number theory.
