We completely characterize sections of the cones nonnegative polynomials, convex polynomials and sums squares with supported on circuits, a genuine class sparse polynomials. In particular, nonnegativity is characterized by an invariant, which can be immediately derived from initial polynomial. Furthermore, such f coincides solidness amoeba f, i.e., Log-absolute-value image algebraic variety $${\mathcal {V}} (f) \subset (\mathbb {C}^*)^n$$ f. These results generalize earlier works both in...
Recent evidence shows that during slow-wave sleep (SWS), the brain is cleared from potentially toxic metabolites, such as amyloid-beta protein. Poor or elevated cortisol levels can worsen clearance, leading to formation of amyloid plaques, a neuropathological hallmark Alzheimer disease. Here, we explored how nocturnal neural and endocrine activity affects fluctuations in peripheral blood.
Recently, the second and third authors developed sums of nonnegative circuit polynomials (SONC) as a new certificate nonnegativity for real polynomials, which is independent squares. In this paper we show that SONC cone full-dimensional in polynomials. We establish Positivstellensatz guarantees every polynomial positive on given compact, semialgebraic set can be represented by constraints Based Positivstellensatz, provide hierarchy lower bounds converging to minimum compact $K$. Moreover,...
In this article, we explore the connections between nonnegativity, theory of $A$-discriminants, and tropical geometry. For an integral support set $A \subset \mathbb{Z}^n$, cover boundary sonc-cone by semialgebraic sets that are parametrized families hypersurfaces. As application, give sufficient conditions for equality sparse nonnegativity cone generic sets, describe a stratification in univariate case.

Understanding quantum phenomena that go beyond classical concepts is a focus of modern physics. Here, we show how the theory non-negative polynomials emerging around Hilbert's 17th problem, can be used to optimally exploit data capturing nonclassical nature light. Specifically, reveal nonclassicality in even when it hidden from standard detection methods up now. Moreover, abstract language also leads unified mathematical approach for light and spin systems, allowing us map one other....

These criteria rely on the coefficients and support polynomial generalize all previous ones by Lasserre, Ghasemi, Marshall, Fidalgo, Kovacec with arbitrary simplex Newton polytopes. This generalization yields approach computing that significantly extends proposed...

Finding the minimum of a multivariate real polynomial is well-known hard problem with various applications. We present time algorithm to approximate such lower bounds via sums nonnegative circuit polynomials (SONC). As main result, we carry out first large-scale comparison SONC, using this and different geometric programming (GP) solvers, classical squares (SOS) approach, several most common semidefinite (SDP) solvers. SONC yields competitive SOS in cases, but significantly less memory. In...

We present new techniques for computational problems on amoebas coamoebas, thus establishing connections between (co-)amoebas, semialgebraic convex geometry semidefinite programming. Our approach is based formulating membership problem in (respectively coamoebas) as a suitable real feasibility problem. Using Nullstellensatz, this allows us to tackle by sums squares method yields polynomial...
