NCopt

description:

[X,fX,eig_val,eig_vec,A,fA]=NCopt(f,AW) computes minimizers and the minimum of the polynomial f.

arguments:

f is an NCpoly representing a polynomial.

AW: true/false whether AWbd is called.

output:

X: from GNS - a matrix where each of its rows represents a square matrix

fX: f(X) where X is from GNS

eig_val: eigenvalues of fX

eig_vec: corresponding eigenvectors

A: from AWbd

fA: f(A) where A is from AWbd - actually on each block of A

possible usage:

NCopt(f), NCopt(f,AW)

see also:

GNS, AWbd, NCcycOpt

example:

>> f = (1 - y + x*y + y*x)'*(1 - y + x*y + y*x) + (-2 + y^2)^2 + (-x + x^2)^2;

>> [X,fX,eig_val,eig_vec]=NCopt(f)

*** Minimum eigenvalue for f is 0.000000. ***
