Abstract

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for solving Diophantine algebraic matrix equations in terms of square circulant matrices. We apply these conditions to show that the Fermat matrix equation $X^n+Y^n=Z^n, n \in \mathbf{N}, n \geq 3$, has no nontrivial solution of that kind, and to construct solutions of the Markov matrix equation

$$
X^2+Y^2+Z^2=3 X Y Z
$$
