Convex sets with semidefinite representation (Q2391000): Difference between revisions

The author considers a class of compact basic semi-algebraic sets and presents sufficient conditions for their convex hulls to have semidefinite representations. These semidefinite representations are given explicitly in terms of the polynomials defining the original sets. Furthermore, corresponding approximate semidefinite representations are provided. Finally, the case of a convex compact basic semi-algebraic set is discussed separately.
