Let f_{min} be the minimum of f on S. Suppose S is nonsingular and f_{min} is achievable on S,which is true generically. The paper proposes a new semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation for this problem. First we construct a set of new polynomials \\varphi_1(x), \\ldots, \\varphi_r(x), by using the Jacobian of f,h_i,g_j, such that the above problem is unchanged by adding new equations \\varphi_j(x)=0. Then we prove that for all $N$ big enough, the standard N-th order Lasserre's SDP relaxation is exact for solving this equivalent problem, that is, it returns a lower bound that is equal to f_{min}. Some variations and examples are also shown.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/1006.2418v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/1006.2418v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"an-exact-jacobian-sdp-relaxation-for","repo_url":"https://github.com/ajpgarner/nckkt-nie-motzkin","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
