Abstract

The moment-SOS hierarchy provides a sequence of lower bounds on the minimum of a polynomial f on a semialgebraic set S. These bounds can be computed by solving semidefinite programs of increasing size, corresponding to sum-of-squares representations of increasing degree. As a consequence of powerful Positivstellensätze from real algebraic geometry, the bounds are known to converge to the true minimum of f under mild assumptions on the feasible region S. In this talk, we discuss some recent progress on the asymptotic behaviour of the SOS-hierarchy for certain special choices of S, such as the unit hypercube.
