Abstract

Given a semialgebraic set $S\subset \mathbb{R}^n$, we provide a numerical approximation procedure that provides upper and lower bounds on $\mu(S)$, for measures $\mu$ that satisfy some given moment conditions. The bounds are obtained as solutions of positive semidefinite programs that can be solved via standard software packages.
