We develop a general and unconditional framework for certifying the global nonnegativity of multivariate integer polynomials; based on rewriting them as sum of squares modulo their gradient ideals. We remove the two structural assumptions…
We consider certificates of positivity for univariate polynomials with rational coefficients that are positive over (an interval of)~$\mathbb{R}$. Such certificates take the form of weighted sums of squares (SOS) of polynomials with…

We study sum-of-squares (SOS) certificates for nonnegative polynomials $p$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$ and their implications for polynomial optimization over unbounded domains. Building on Lasserre's perturbation approach, we consider SOS…
Smale's alpha-theory uses estimates related to the convergence of Newton's method to give criteria implying that Newton iterations will converge quadratically to solutions to a square polynomial system. The program alphaCertified implements…
We consider the question of certifying that a polynomial in ${\mathbb Z}[x]$ or ${\mathbb Q}[x]$ is irreducible. Knowing that a polynomial is irreducible lets us recognise that a quotient ring is actually a field extension (equiv.~that a…
Certificates to a linear algebra computation are additional data structures for each output, which can be used by a-possibly randomized- verification algorithm that proves the correctness of each output. Wiede-mann's algorithm projects the…
We present a proof procedure for univariate real polynomial problems in Isabelle/HOL. The core mathematics of our procedure is based on univariate cylindrical algebraic decomposition. We follow the approach of untrusted certificates,…
We discuss optimization problems over convex cones in which membership is difficult to verify directly. In the standard theory of duality, vectors in the dual cone $K^*$ are associated with separating hyperplanes and interpreted as…
This paper is about solving polynomial systems. It first recalls how to do that efficiently with a very high probability of correctness by reconstructing a rational univariate representation (rur) using Groebner revlex computation,…
Let I=<f_1, ..., f_m> be a zero dimensional radical ideal Q[x_1,...,x_n]. Assume that we are given approximations {z_1,...,z_k} in C^n for the common roots V(I)={xi_1,...,xi_k}. In this paper we show how to construct and certify the…
Farkas' lemma is a fundamental result from linear programming providing linear certificates for infeasibility of systems of linear inequalities. In semidefinite programming, such linear certificates only exist for strongly infeasible linear…
Polyhedra form an established abstract domain for inferring runtime properties of programs using abstract interpretation. Computations on them need to be certified for the whole static analysis results to be trusted. In this work, we look…
For a given computational problem, a certificate is a piece of data that one (the prover) attaches to the output with the aim of allowing efficient verification (by the verifier) that this output is correct. Here, we consider the minimal…
In (Davis and Papp, 2022), the authors introduced the concept of dual certificates of (weighted) sum-of-squares polynomials, which are vectors from the dual cone of weighted sums of squares (WSOS) polynomials that can be interpreted as…
Computational problem certificates are additional data structures for each output, which can be used by a-possibly randomized-verification algorithm that proves the correctness of each output. In this paper, we give an algorithm that…
We develop a new kind of nonnegativity certificate for univariate polynomials on an interval. In many applications, nonnegative Bernstein coefficients are often used as a simple way of certifying polynomial nonnegativity. Our proposed…
In recent years, techniques based on convex optimization and real algebra that produce converging hierarchies of lower bounds for polynomial minimization problems have gained much popularity. At their heart, these hierarchies rely crucially…
The Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz gives a certificate to verify positivity of a strictly positive polynomial $f$ on a compact, basic, semi-algebraic set $\mathbf{K} \subset \mathbb{R}^n$. A Positivstellensatz of this type is called…
In this paper, we introduce a certain method to construct polynomials producing many absolute pseudoprimes. By this method, we give new polynomials producing absolute pseudoprimes with any fixed number of prime factors which can be viewed…
