As a very simplified expression, an n × n complex matrix A, 1 ≤ k ≤ n, the kth compound of A is defined as the product of two same vertical matrices having two members of n and k, complex matrix Ck(A) are defined as:
Ck(A)α,β = det A[α|β]
The kth additive compound of A is usually defined as:
∆k(A) = d/dt|t=0 x Ck(I + tA)
In your question you are questioning about the Third Additive Compound Matrix , therefore for this case you apply k = 3.
Since the subject is a little complicated for application and to see portieres of it I recommend you to study some papers and some other reference books that you may search and find them.
I hope it is helpful to you and wish you the best of luck.
