Adam Kurpisz, Samuli Leppänen, and Monaldo Mastrolilli. Tight Sum-Of-Squares Lower Bounds for Binary Polynomial Optimization Problems. In 43rd International Colloquium on Automata, Languages, and Programming (ICALP 2016). Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs), Volume 55, pp. 78:1-78:14, Schloss Dagstuhl – Leibniz-Zentrum für Informatik (2016) https://doi.org/10.4230/LIPIcs.ICALP.2016.78

Abstract

We give two results concerning the power of the Sum-Of-Squares(SoS)/Lasserre hierarchy. For binary polynomial optimization problems of degree 2d and an odd number of variables n, we prove that (n+2d-1)/2 levels of the SoS/Lasserre hierarchy are necessary to provide the exact optimal value. This matches the recent upper bound result by Sakaue, Takeda, Kim and Ito.

Additionally, we study a conjecture by Laurent, who considered the linear representation of a set with no integral points. She showed that the Sherali-Adams hierarchy requires n levels to detect the empty integer hull, and conjectured that the SoS/Lasserre rank for the same problem is n-1. We disprove this conjecture and derive lower and upper bounds for the rank.
