SparesPOP is a MATLAB implementation of a sparse semidefinite programming (SDP) relaxation method proposed for polynomial optimization problems (POPs) in the paper

The sparse SDP relaxation exploits a sparse structure of polynomials in POPs when applying "a hierarchy of LMI relaxations of increasing dimensions'' by Lasserre. The efficiency of SparsePOP to approximate optimal values of POPs is thus increased, and larger scale POPs can be handled.
