Description:

The discriminant of the polynomial x4 + 4ax3 + 6bx2 + 4cx + 1. The convex set inside the “bowl” corresponds to the region of nonnegativity. There is an additional one-dimensional component inside the set. (Image courtesy of Prof. Pablo Parrilo.)

Alt text:
Discriminant for a fourth-order polynomial. Inside region is nonnegative.
