We briefly recall basics of the Moment-SOS hierarchy in polynomial optimization and the Christoffel-Darboux kernel (and the Christoffel function (CF)) in theory of approximation and orthogonal polynomials. We then (i) show a strong link…

We show that every real nonnegative polynomial $f$ can be approximated as closely as desired by a sequence of polynomials $\{f_\epsilon\}$ that are sums of squares. Each $f_\epsilon$ has a simple et explicit form in terms of $f$ and…

We introduce a new method for building higher-degree sum-of-squares lower bounds over the hypercube $\mathbf{x} \in \{\pm 1\}^N$ from a given degree 2 lower bound. Our method constructs pseudoexpectations that are positive semidefinite by…

Let ${\cal P}=\{h_1, ..., h_s\}\subset \Z[Y_1, ..., Y_k]$, $D\geq \deg(h_i)$ for $1\leq i \leq s$, $\sigma$ bounding the bit length of the coefficients of the $h_i$'s, and $\Phi$ be a quantifier-free ${\cal P}$-formula defining a convex…

Hankel tensors arise from signal processing and some other applications. SOS (sum-of-squares) tensors are positive semi-definite symmetric tensors, but not vice versa. The problem for determining an even order symmetric tensor is an SOS…

The moment sum of squares (moment-SOS) hierarchy produces sequences of upper and lower bounds on functionals of the exit time solution of a polynomial stochastic differential equation with polynomial constraints, at the price of solving…

In this paper we consider the relationship between monomial-size and bit-complexity in Sums-of-Squares (SOS) in Polynomial Calculus Resolution over rationals (PCR/$\mathbb{Q}$). We show that there is a set of polynomial constraints $Q_n$…

We consider numerical certification of approximate solutions to a system of polynomial equations with more equations than unknowns by first certifying solutions to a square subsystem. We give several approaches that certifiably select which…

The question how to certify non-negativity of a polynomial function lies at the heart of Real Algebra and also has important applications to Optimization. In this article we investigate the question of non-negativity in the context of…

The cone of sums of nonnegative circuits (SONCs) is a subset of the cone of nonnegative polynomials / exponential sums, which has been studied extensively in recent years. In this article, we construct a subset of the SONC cone which we…

We study a surprising phenomenon related to the representation of a cloud of data points using polynomials. We start with the previously unnoticed empirical observation that, given a collection (a cloud) of data points, the sublevel sets of…

A SONC polynomial is a sum of finitely many non-negative circuit polynomials, whereas a non-negative circuit polynomial is a non-negative polynomial whose support is a simplicial circuit. We show that there exist non-negative polynomials…

This paper proposes a real moment-HSOS hierarchy for complex polynomial optimization problems with real coefficients. We show that this hierarchy provides the same sequence of lower bounds as the complex analogue, yet is much cheaper to…

We derive some Positivstellensatz\"e for noncommutative rational expressions from the Positivstellensatz\"e for noncommutative polynomials. Specifically, we show that if a noncommutative rational expression is positive on a polynomially…

A widely used method for solving SOS (Sum Of Squares) decomposition problem is to reduce it to the problem of semi-definite programs (SDPs) which can be efficiently solved in theory. In practice, although many SDP solvers can work out some…

In this paper, we study polynomial norms, i.e. norms that are the $d^{\text{th}}$ root of a degree-$d$ homogeneous polynomial $f$. We first show that a necessary and sufficient condition for $f^{1/d}$ to be a norm is for $f$ to be strictly…

We study separable plus quadratic (SPQ) polynomials, i.e., polynomials that are the sum of univariate polynomials in different variables and a quadratic polynomial. Motivated by the fact that nonnegative separable and nonnegative quadratic…

In this paper we present a simple technique to derive certificates of non-realizability for an abstract polytopal sphere. Our approach uses a variant of the classical algebraic certificates introduced by Bokowski and Sturmfels in…

In an earlier article [3], we presented an algorithm that can be used to rigorously check whether a specific cosine or sine polynomial is nonnegative in a given interval or not. The algorithm proves to be an indispensable tool in…

We consider the linear conic optimization problem with the cone of nonnegative polynomials. Its dual optimization problem is the generalized moment problem. Moment-SOS relaxations are powerful for solving them. This paper studies finite…
