Convergence Rates for Lasserre's Upper-Bound Hierarchy on with Gaussian Measure

Sander Gribling, Igor Klep, Poornendu Kumar

We establish quantitative convergence rates for Lasserre's measure-based upper-bound hierarchy on using the standard Gaussian measure as the reference measure. For a…

Improved quantum volume estimation with transducers and amortized quantum walks

Arjan Cornelissen, Simon Apers, Sander Gribling

The volume estimation problem is a classic task in computational geometry. The development of randomized algorithms for this problem spurred the development of many influential alg…

Squared polynomial approximation kernels for the hypercube: improved error bounds and implications for Lasserre hierarchies

Sander Gribling, Etienne de Klerk, Juan C. Vera

We propose a new family of polynomial approximation kernels for approximating nonnegative polynomials on the hypercube . Our Kernels produce polynomial sums-of-squares of…

Self-concordant Schrödinger operators: spectral gaps and optimization without condition numbers

Sander Gribling, Simon Apers, Harold Nieuwboer +1

Spectral gaps play a fundamental role in many areas of mathematics, computer science, and physics. In quantum mechanics, the spectral gap of Schrödinger operators has a long histor…

Revisiting the convergence rate of the Lasserre hierarchy for polynomial optimization over the hypercube

Sander Gribling, Etienne de Klerk, Juan Vera

We revisit the problem of minimizing a given polynomial on the hypercube . Lasserre's hierarchy (also known as the moment- or sum-of-squares hierarchy) provides a seq…
