This analysis uncovers properties of the subgroup GL(n, Z) generated by alternating involutions, revealing unique trajectory characteristics.
Let M(n) be the subgroup of GL(n,Z) generated by the particular involutions that are identical to the identity, except for a single line where $-1$ and $+1$ alternate. We study the properties of M(n), and then find several notable characteristics of the unions of trajectories obtained by iteratively applying a fixed sequence of such involutions to elements from Zⁿ.
