Jun 2, 2023 at 13:39 comment added Jim @YCor The input should be the generators $G_i$ and the output the generators of the centralizer. That the output is a complete should be verifiable. To find the generators by enumeration I came across this: semanticscholar.org/paper/… . But I don't think he proves the set is complete.
Jun 2, 2023 at 13:01 comment added YCor You say "calculate the centralizer", but part of the question requires to specify what kind of input is expected. Actually, it follows from Borel–Harish-Chandra that the centralizer is finitely generated. Hence a possible output is a finite generating subset of the centralizer. (One could ask, as an output, to just enumerate the centralizer, but this is kind of trivial and mostly useless — namely one enumerates the centralizer in the rational (or integral) matrix algebra and then checks when one gets an element of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbf{Z})$.)
