Abstract
We give two results concerning the power of the Sum-Of-Squares(SoS)/Lasserre hierarchy. For binary polynomial optimization problems of degree 2d and an odd number of variables n, we prove that (n+2d-1)/2 levels of the SoS/Lasserre hierarchy are necessary to provide the exact optimal value. This matches the recent upper bound result by Sakaue, Takeda, Kim and Ito. Additionally, we study a conjecture by Laurent, who considered the linear representation of a set with no integral points. She showed that the Sherali-Adams hierarchy requires n levels to detect the empty integer hull, and conjectured that the SoS/Lasserre rank for the same problem is n-1. We disprove this conjecture and derive lower and upper bounds for the rank.
