The abbreviations LMI and SOS stand for linear matrix inequality' and sum of squares', respectively. The cone $\Sigma_{n,2d}$ of SOS polynomials in $n$ variables of degree at most $2d$ is known to have a semidefinite extended formulation with one LMI of size $\binom{n+d}{n}$. In other words, $\Sigma_{n,2d}$ is a linear image of a set described by one LMI of size $\binom{n+d}{n}$. We show that $\Sigma_{n,2d}$ has no semidefinite extended formulation with finitely many LMIs of size less than…

A convergent hierarchy of semidefinite relaxations is constructed for the cones of P(K), R(K) and RA (K) (like interiors, closeness, duality, memberships), and it is shown how to check whether the cones intersect affine subspaces and if they do, how to get a point in the intersections.
