The aim of this paper is to characterize the solutions Φ : G → M2(ℂ) of the following matrix functional equations
Φ(xy)+Φ(σ(y)x)2=Φ(x)Φ(y),      x,y,∈G,{{\Phi \left( {xy} \right) + \Phi \left( {\sigma \left( y \right)x} \right)} \over 2} = \Phi \left( x \right)\Phi \left( y \right),\,\,\,\,\,\,x,y, \in G,
and
Φ(xy)−Φ(σ(y)x)2=Φ(x)Φ(y),      x,y,∈G,{{\Phi \left( {xy} \right) - \Phi \left( {\sigma \left( y \right)x} \right)} \over 2} = \Phi \left( x \right)\Phi \left( y \right),\,\,\,\,\,\,x,y, \in G,
where G is a group that need not be abelian, and σ : G → G is an involutive automorphism of G. Our considerations are inspired by the papers [13, 14] in which the continuous solutions of the first equation on abelian topological groups were determined.
