Abstract

The study of nonnegative polynomials and sums of squares is a classical area of real algebraic geometry dating back to Hilbert-s 17th problem. It also has rich connections to real analysis via duality and moment problems. In the last 15 years, sums of squares relaxations have found a wide array of applications from very applied areas (e.g., robotics, computer vision, and machine learning) to theoretical applications (e.g., extremal combinatorics, theoretical computer science).
