    The paper is studying the problem of writing real zero (RZ) polynomials as determinants of linear matrix polynomials. More specifically, it is shown that almost no real zero polynomial admits a determinantal representation. In fact, there are dimensional differences between the set of real zero polynomials and the set of polynomials with a determinantal representation. A characterization is given for polynomials of which some power has a determinantal representation. It is proved that any quadratic RZ-polynomial admits a determinantal representation., after taking a high enough power. An explicit method is given for the construction of a determinantal representation.
