Does anyone know a formula for the inverse of a sum of two upper triangular matrices?
 

Discussion

What makes you think there is such a formula?

Have you looked at the inverse of
[tex]\left(\begin{array}{cc}a & b \\ 0 & c\end{array}\right)+ \left(\begin{array}{cc}x & y \\ 0 & z\end{array}\right)[/tex]?
