Use of geometric algebra: compound matrices and the determinant of the sum of two matrices

Abstract: In this paper we demonstrate the capabilities of geometric algebra by the derivation of a formula for the determinant of the sum of two matrices in which both matrices are separated in the sense that the resulting expression consists of a sum of traces of products of their compound matrices. For the derivation we introduce a vector of Grassmann elements associated with an arbitrary square matrix, we recall the concept of compound matrices and summarize some of their properties. This paper introduces a new deri… Show more

“…Since det(∇ 2 h) is a 2 × 2 matrix, we can write it as [26], det(∇ 2 h) = det(M 1 ) + det(M 2 ) + tr(M † 1 M 2 ), where M † 1 is the adjugate of M 1 . From (38), it can easily be shown that det(M 1 ) ≥ 0.…”

“…We recall that the adjugate of an ðn À 1Þ Â ðn À 1Þ matrix is related to its ðn À 2Þth compound matrix and that the compound matrix of a diagonal matrix is also diagonal [22][23][24]. We also recall the Binet-Cauchy Theorem [22] which states that the compound matrix of a product is equal to the product of the compound matrices.…”
