Abstract
We consider arrays of size 2 × 2 × 2 and 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 over the fields with two and three elements. We use computer algebra to determine the canonical forms of these arrays with respect to the action of the semidirect product of general linear groups with the symmetric group. For each canonical form, we determine the size of its orbit and the rank of the arrays in its orbit.
