Approximate volume and integration for basic semialgebraic sets

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given a basic compact semi-algebraic set KsubsetRn, we introduce a methodology that generates a sequence converging to the volume of K. This sequence is obtained from optimal values of a hierarchy of either semidefinite or linear programs. Not only the volume but also every finite vector of moments of the probability measure that is uniformly distributed on K can be approximated as closely as desired, and so permits to approximate the integral on K of any given polynomial; extension to integration against some weight functions is also provided. Finally, some numerical issues associated with the algorithms involved are briefly discussed.
