This is related to graph isomorphism.
Here, matrices are square $n \times n$ with non-negative integer entries.
Two matrices $A, B$$A,B$ are permutation similarpermutation similar if there existsexist a permutationpermutation matrix $P$ such that $P A P^T=B$.
Assume $A, B$$A,B$ have $k$ distinct entries where $k$ is large. What is the complexity of finding $P$ as function of $n,k$?
Q1 What is the complexity of finding $P$ as function of $n,k$?
In graph isomorphism, the matrices are $0$-$1$$0-1$ with $k=2$.
I expect large $k$ to help.
