Abstract:
In the project HYPERSPACE we develop effective methods, algorithms and software dedicated to hyperbolic polynomials. These form a class of real multivariate polynomials of central interest in applied mathematics and computer science (because of their importance in polynomial optimization and control theory, just to name two applications). The major open question related to this theory is the so-called Generalized Lax Conjecture, concerned with the representability of hyperbolic polynomials by means of determinants of symmetric matrices. More generally, a challenge in terms of complexity is the problem of certifying whether a given multivariate polynomial is hyperbolic, in other words, the hyperbolicity test. Efficient algorithms and good complexity bounds as well as software implementations for hyperbolic polynomials are missing but considered crucial for the future development of this theory. The goal of our project HYPERSPACE is twofold: on the one hand we want to develop new effective methods and algorithms for hyperbolic polynomials, on the other hand we aim at implementing reliable software as a support to current and future research.
