Abstract: We investigate the hierarchy of conic inner approximations mathcalKn(r) (rinmathbbN) for the copositive cone extCOPn, introduced by Parrilo (Structured Semidefinite Programs and Semialgebraic Geometry Methods in Robustness and Optimization, PhD Thesis, California Institute of Technology, 2001). It is known that extCOP4=mathcalK4(0) and that, while the union of the cones mathcalKn(r) covers the interior of extCOPn, it does not cover the full cone extCOPn if ngeq6. Here we investigate the remaining case n=5, where all extreme rays have been fully characterized by Hildebrand (The extreme rays of the 5 imes 5 copositive cone. Linear Algebra and its Applications, 437(7):1538--1547, 2012). We show that the Horn matrix H and its positive diagonal scalings play an exceptional role among the extreme rays of extCOP5. We show that equality holds if and only if any positive diagonal scaling of H belongs to mathcalK5(r) for some rinmathbbN. As a main ingredient for the proof, we introduce new Lasserre-type conic inner approximations for extCOPn, based on sums of squares of polynomials. We show their links to the cones mathcalKn(r), and we use an optimization approach that permits to exploit finite convergence results on Lasserre hierarchy to show membership in the new cones.
