What are the branches of mathematics that deal with finding common transformations between matrices

$begingroup$


First I will apologize early for my lack of mathematical knowledge. I am sorry.



If I want to find a or all common transformation matrices X or even functions if that is possible such that



$$
begin{pmatrix}
a_x & b_x & c_x \
b_x & c_x & b_x \
a_x & a_x & c_x \
end{pmatrix} cdot X = begin{pmatrix}
b_x & c_x & a_x \
b_x & a_x & b_x \
a_x & c_x & c_x \
end{pmatrix} = K
$$

$$ K cdot X =
begin{pmatrix}
b_x & a_x & b_x \
c_x & a_x & c_x \
a_x & c_x & b_x \
end{pmatrix}
$$



Where the subscript $$x = 1lor2lor3 $$
such that all $$a_xlor b_xlor c_x$$ require to be of the form $$a_1,a_2,a_3$$ $$b_1,b_2,b_3$$ $$c_1,c_2,c_3$$
such that per matrix there are no two $$a_1$$ and such that $$a_1$$ can not turn into either $$a_2 lor a_3$$ and the same applies to $$b_x$$ and also $$c_x$$



What branches of mathematics would deal with such problems?



Also again apologies for my likely incorrect use logic symbol or to signify 'or' in general and my formatting.

    Linear algebra. Possibly group theory, if you want to understand the structure of the transformations.

    I wouldn't be surprised if there were no more sophisticated techniques than just brute forcing the problem with elementary linear algebra.

    It's not clear what your conditions mean though. What does it mean for $a_1$ to "turn into" $a_2$ or $a_3$?

    @JackM I was thinking of linear algebra but wasn't sure if that was enough for doing this without brute forcing if there are no more sophisticated techniques then there is no choice I suppose. Also apologies for not being clear, $a_1$ turning into $a_2$ or $a_3$ simply was to clarify that the position of any of the variables is unique once they are set initially, so that the goal is not simply to get any $a_x$ in that position but which ever required $a_n$ that was set initially.

    @DavidG.Stork It seems group theory and linear algebra are indeed very much required to what I was hoping for, thank you.
