Description
A spectrahedron is a set defined by a linear matrix inequality. Given a spectrahedron, we are interested in the question of the smallest possible size r of the matrices in the description by linear matrix inequalities. After some generalities, we focus on the case of convex regions defined by quadratic and cubic polynomials.
