- Moment matrix
-
In mathematics, a moment matrix is a special symmetric square matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by monomials. The entries of the matrix depend on the product of the indexing monomials only (cf. Hankel matrices.)
Moment matrices play an important role in polynomial optimization, since positive semidefinite moment matrices correspond to polynomials which are sums of squares.
