Positive-semidefinite-plus-nonnegative cone
ID: positive-semidefinite-plus-nonnegative-cone
The sums of a real positive semidefinite matrix and a symmetric nonnegative matrix form a convex cone inside the copositive cone. Both terms have nonnegative quadratic forms on the nonnegative orthant. The Horn copositive matrix shows that the inclusion is strict in dimension five; the sum of squares criterion for a biquadratic form explains this cone's relation to semidefinite programming.
