2.5 Chapter Summary<br />

We presented a summary <strong>of</strong> background material focusing on the aspects needed for the<br />

development in the subsequent chapters. Mainly, this material coupled with Lyapunov-type<br />

theorems introduced in respective chapters will be used to translate system analysis questions<br />

to numerical optimization problems. A brief overview <strong>of</strong> semidefinite programming<br />

centered on distinguishing properties <strong>of</strong> affine and bilinear semidefinite programs was followed<br />

by the introduction <strong>of</strong> sum-<strong>of</strong>-squares polynomials and sum-<strong>of</strong>-squares programming.<br />

Finally, a generalization <strong>of</strong> the S-procedure, a central tool for handling set containment<br />

conditions, and its link to the Positivstellensatz were discussed.<br />
