چکیده
An algorithm for finding sums of hermitian squares decompositions for polynomials in noncommuting variables is presented. The algorithm is based on the “Newton chip method”, a noncommutative analog of the classical Newton polytope method, and semidefinite programming.

متن کاملRational Sums of Hermitian Squares of Free Noncommutative Polynomials
In this paper we consider polynomials in noncommuting variables that admit sum of hermitian squares and commutators decompositions. We recall algorithms for finding decompositions of this type that are based on semidefinite programming. The main part of the article investigates how to find such decomposition with rational coefficients if the original polynomial has rational coefficients. We sho...
متن کاملSums of Hermitian Squares and the Bmv Conjecture
We show that all the coefficients of the polynomial tr((A+ tB)) ∈ R[t] are nonnegative whenever m ≤ 13 is a nonnegative integer and A and B are positive semidefinite matrices of the same size. This has previously been known only for m ≤ 7. The validity of the statement for arbitrary m has recently been shown to be equivalent to the Bessis-Moussa-Villani conjecture from theoretical physics. In o...
متن کاملNCSOStools: a computer algebra system for symbolic and numerical computation with noncommutative polynomials
NCSOStools is a Matlab toolbox for • symbolic computation with polynomials in noncommuting variables; • constructing and solving sum of hermitian squares (with commutators) programs for polynomials in noncommuting variables. It can be used in combination with semidefinite programming software, such as SeDuMi, SDPA or SDPT3 to solve these constructed programs. This paper provides an overview of ...
