Convergence rate of the moment-SOS hierarchy for univariate polynomial optimization

We study the convergence rate of the moment-SOS (sum-of-squares) hierarchy for polynomial optimization problems (POPs) on a bounded subset of the real line described by arbitrary polynomial inequalities. We prove that, for every fixed univariate POP, the relaxation error is bounded by $O(1/r^2)$, where $r$ is the relaxation order. In particular, boundary degeneracies in the … Read more
