First of all, spend a half hour putting that in Mathematica notation, as
you should have done in the first place... using Re[], Im[], and
Conjugate[] rather than real (), imag(), and conj().  Clarify whether
abs(s1)^2 means Abs[s1^2] or Abs[s1]^2.  (I suppose it doesn't matter.)

Then make a change of variables using a rule like

polarDefns={s1 -> E^(I*\[Theta]1)*r1, s2 -> E^(I*\[Theta]2)*r2, 
 s3 -> E^(I*\[Theta]3)*r3, s4 -> E^(I*\[Theta]4)*r4}

That is, if

vec = {
    Abs[s1^2] + Abs[s2^2] + Abs[s3^2] + Abs[s4^2 ],
    -Abs[s1^2] + Abs[s2^2] - Abs[s3^2] + Abs[s4^2],
    Re[s2*conj[s3] + s1 conj[s4] ],
    Im[ s2*conj[s3] - s1*conj[s4]],
    - Abs(s1)^2 + Abs(s2)^2 + Abs(s3)^2 - Abs(s4)^2,
    Abs(s1)^2 + Abs(s2)^2 - Abs(s3)^2 - Abs(s4)^2,
    real( s2*conj(s3) - s1*conj(s4) ),
    imag( s2*conj(s3) + s1*conj(s4) ),
    real( s2*conj(s4) + s1*conj(s3) ),
    imag( s2*conj(s4) - s1*conj(s3) ),
    real( s1*conj(s2) + s3*conj(s4) ),
    imag( conj(s1)*s2 + conj(s3)*s4 ),
    imag( conj(s2)*s4 + s1*conj(s3) ),
    imag( conj(s2)*s4 - s1*conj(s3) ),
    imag( s1*conj(s2) - s3*conj(s4) ),
    real( s1*conj(s2) - s3*conj(s4) )
    };

(this has been partially tamed) then after you've fixed all the
notation, form

polarVec=vec/.polarDefns

to put it all in polar coordinates.  That will simplify things a lot,
eliminating Conjugate, Re, and Im at the cost of introducing Sin and
Cos.

Then... what do you want?  y1 + y2 to be a linear combination of the
elements of that vector?  Well, in a sense, that's entirely trivial.  y1
+ y2, being real, is in the linear span of ANY single non-zero real
number, so if any of the elements (they're all real) are non-zero you're
in bidness.  (Most of them are non-zero if the si are not zero.)

Until you make the question clear, though, it can't have a meaningful
answer.

Hi

Given 4 complex numbers S1, S2, S3 and S4 with Si = xi + i*yi,
i=1,2,3,4.

These 4 numbers are the basis for the following 16 eqn.s:

S11 = 1/2 * ( abs(S1)^2 + abs(S2)^2 + abs(S3)^2 + abs(S4)^2 );
S12 = 1/2 * ( - abs(S1)^2 + abs(S2)^2 - abs(S3)^2 + abs(S4)^2 );
S13 = real( S2*conj(S3) + S1*conj(S4) );
S14 = imag( S2*conj(S3) - S1*conj(S4) );
S21 = 1/2 * ( - abs(S1)^2 + abs(S2)^2 + abs(S3)^2 - abs(S4)^2  );
S22 = 1/2 * (  abs(S1)^2 + abs(S2)^2 - abs(S3)^2 - abs(S4)^2 );
S23 = real( S2*conj(S3) - S1*conj(S4) );
S24 = imag( S2*conj(S3) + S1*conj(S4) );
S31 = real( S2*conj(S4) + S1*conj(S3) );
S32 = imag( S2*conj(S4) - S1*conj(S3) );
S33 = real( S1*conj(S2) + S3*conj(S4) );
S34 = imag( conj(S1)*S2 + conj(S3)*S4 );
S41 = imag( conj(S2)*S4 + S1*conj(S3) );
S42 = imag( conj(S2)*S4 - S1*conj(S3) );
S43 = imag( S1*conj(S2) - S3*conj(S4) );
S44 = real( S1*conj(S2) - S3*conj(S4) );

"abs" stands for the absolute value and "conj" for the complex
conjugate value of the Si.

Now my aim is to find any combination - independent how long - with
and between these Sii to get the following result:

              K=y1+y2

Now my question to you is:
How can I instruct Mathematica that it will look for an answer?

I want to see Mathematica that it is carried out as much as possible
combinations, simplify these combinations algeabraically and then
compare the simplified solution with K.

Thank you

Norbert
