Jul 25, 2017 at 7:39 comment added Turbo @StevenLandsburg I think if I am right any polynomial can be expressed as determinant (and the size is the central issue as in permanent determinant case) and so $det(M)+det(N)$ should be representable as a determinant.
Jul 25, 2017 at 4:16 comment added Steven Landsburg The more general question is: Given matrices $M$ and $N$, when does there exist a matrix $P$ all of whose entries appear in $M$ and $N$ and such that $det(P)=det(M)+det(N)$ ? Can you settle any non-trivial cases of this?
Jul 25, 2017 at 4:09 comment added Christian Remling I actually suspect this is not possible, but I don't know how to prove that. It seems an interesting question to me, but maybe I missed something. I voted to reopen.
Jul 25, 2017 at 1:17 comment added Turbo @YemonChoi I think it has to be larger. I think it has be be somewhere between linear and quadratically as large as the number of summations needed.
Jul 24, 2017 at 20:35 comment added Yemon Choi I didn't vote to close, so this is an honest question: do you require A to also be a 4 by 4 matrix, or can it be larger?

Jul 24, 2017 at 9:10 comment added Turbo The query came from understanding formula complexity. Don't understand the meaning of this ridicule.
