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.
