Sufficiency of product depth one
Determine whether product depth d_r=1 always suffices for the single-element mean-polynomial certificate in the depth-truncated optimization hierarchy.
References
where d_r is the product depth of the single-element certificate; whether d_r=1 always suffices is open.
