Sum-of-squares geometry processing [PDF]
Geometry processing presents a variety of difficult numerical problems, each seeming to require its own tailored solution. This breadth is largely due to the expansive list of geometric primitives, e.g., splines, triangles, and hexahedra, joined with an ...

Rounding sum-of-squares relaxations [PDF]
We present a general approach to rounding semidefinite programming relaxations obtained by the Sum-of-Squares method (Lasserre hierarchy). Our approach is based on using the connection between these relaxations and the Sum-of-Squares proof system to transform a *combining algorithm* -- an algorithm that maps a distribution over solutions into a ...

A Sum-of-Squares and Semidefinite Programming Approach for Maximum Likelihood DOA Estimation [PDF]
Direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using a uniform linear array (ULA) is a classical problem in array signal processing. In this paper, we focus on DOA estimation based on the maximum likelihood (ML) criterion, transform the estimation problem into a ...

Predicted Residual Error Sum of Squares of Mixed Models: An Application for Genomic Prediction [PDF]
Genomic prediction is a statistical method to predict phenotypes of polygenic traits using high-throughput genomic data. Most diseases and behaviors in humans and animals are polygenic traits. The majority of agronomic traits in crops are also polygenic.

Sum of squares lower bounds for refuting any CSP [PDF]
Let P:{0,1}k → {0,1} be a nontrivial k-ary predicate. Consider a random instance of the constraint satisfaction problem (P) on n variables with Δ n constraints, each being P applied to k randomly chosen literals. Provided the constraint density satisfies

Application of Sum of Squares Method in Nonlinear H∞ Control for Satellite Attitude Maneuvers
The Hamilton–Jacobi–Issacs (HJI) inequality is the most basic relation in nonlinear H∞ design, to which no effective analytical solution is currently available. The sum of squares (SOS) method can numerically solve nonlinear problems that are not easy to

Some new relations between T(a₁,a₂,a₃,a₄,a₅; n) and N(a₁,a₂,a₃,a₄,a₅; n) [PDF]
Let N(a₁,a₂,a₃,a₄,a₅; n) and T(a₁,a₂,a₃,a₄,a₅; n) count the representations of n as a₁x₁²+a₂x₂²+a₃x₃²+a₄x₄²+a₅x₅² and a₁X₁(X₁+1)/2+a₂X₂(X₂+1)/2+a₃X₃(X₃+1)/2+a₄X₄(X₄+1)/2+a₅X₅(X₅+1)/2, respectively, where a₁,a₂,a₃,a₄,a₅ are positive integers, x₁,x₂,x₃,x₄ ...

Efficient mean estimation with pure differential privacy via a sum-of-squares exponential mechanism [PDF]
We give the first polynomial-time algorithm to estimate the mean of a d-variate probability distribution with bounded covariance from Õ(d) independent samples subject to pure differential privacy.

Exponential Convergence of Sum-of-Squares Hierarchies for Trigonometric Polynomials [PDF]
We consider the unconstrained optimization of multivariate trigonometric polynomials by the sum-of-squares hierarchy of lower bounds. We first show a convergence rate of $O(1/s^2)$ for the relaxation with degree $s$ without any assumption on the ...

Safety Index Synthesis via Sum-of-Squares Programming [PDF]
Control systems often need to satisfy strict safety requirements. Safety index provides a handy way to evaluate the safety level of the system and derive the resulting safe control policies.
