Testing hyperbolicity of real polynomials

Algebraic Geometry 2018-10-24 v2 Optimization and Control

Abstract

Hyperbolic polynomials are real multivariate polynomials with only real roots along a fixed pencil of lines. Testing whether a given polynomial is hyperbolic is a difficult task in general. We examine different ways of translating hyperbolicity into nonnegativity conditions, which can then be tested via sum-of-squares relaxations.
