Computing symmetric determinantal representations

Justin Chen and Papri Dey

Vol. 10 (2020), 9–15
DOI: 10.2140/jsag.2020.10.9
Abstract

We introduce the DeterminantalRepresentations package for Macaulay2, which computes definite symmetric determinantal representations of real polynomials. We focus on quadrics and plane curves of low degree (i.e., cubics and quartics). Our algorithms are geared towards speed and robustness, employing linear algebra and numerical algebraic geometry, without genericity assumptions on the polynomials.

Keywords
determinantal representations, linear matrix inequalities, plane curves, hyperbolic polynomials
