The H\"older continuity of the truncated moment map of a shade function in Euclidean space is established in the vicinity of a principal semi-algebraic set. The proof combines volume bounds of semi-algebraic sets and convex optimization…

A polynomial that is a sum of squares (SOS) of other polynomials is evidently positive. The converse is not true, there are positive polynomials which are not SOS. This note focuses on the problem of certifying, in exact arithmetic, that a…
