Abstract: An $nimesn$ complex matrix $A$ is called coninvolutory if $$ and skew-coninvolutory if $$ (which implies that $n$ is even). We prove that each matrix of size $nimesn$ with $n>1$ is a sum of 5 coninvolutory matrices and each matrix of size $2mimes2m$ is a sum of 5 skew-coninvolutory matrices. We also prove that each square complex matrix is a sum of a coninvolutory matrix and a condiagonalizable matrix. A matrix $M$ is called condiagonalizable if $$ in which $S$ is nonsingular and $D$ is diagonal.
