Pre- and Post-Processing Sum-of-Squares Programs in Practice
2009
IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control
This paper describes how the sum-of-squares module in the MATLAB toolbox YALMIP handles these issues. ...
Checking non-negativity of polynomials using sum-ofsquares has recently been popularized and found many applications in control. ...
The idea in a sum-of-squares approach is to replace non-negativity with the, obviously sufficient, condition that the polynomial is a sum of squared terms. f (x) = M X i=1 h 2 i (x) = M X i=1 (q T i v( ...

Our main result is a structure theorem where we show that any equivariant psd lift of size d of an orbitope is of sum-of-squares type where the functions in the sum-of-squares decomposition come from an ...

Finding and Optimizing Certified, Collision-Free Regions in Configuration Space for Robot Manipulators
[article]
2022
arXiv
pre-print
Our regions are generated by alternating between two convex optimization problems: (1) a simultaneous search for a maximal-volume ellipse inscribed in a given polytope and a certificate that the polytope ...
is collision-free and (2) a maximal expansion of the polytope away from the ellipse which does not violate the certificate. ...
Searching for certificates of non-collision in C-space when obstacles are specified as convex sets in the task space using convex programming (specifically Sum-Of-Squares (SOS) programming) is the primary ...

Equivariant Semidefinite Lifts of Regular Polygons
2017
Mathematics of Operations Research
Our construction relies on finding a sparse sum-of-squares certificate for the facet-defining inequalities of the regular 2^n-gon, i.e., one that only uses a small (logarithmic) number of monomials. ...
We first show that the standard Lasserre/sum-of-squares hierarchy for the regular N-gon requires exactly ceil(N/4) iterations and thus yields an equivariant psd lift of size linear in N. ...
