How to integrate a polynomial over a simplex

Abstract: Abstract. This paper settles the computational complexity of the problem of integrating a polynomial function f over a rational simplex. We prove that the problem is NP-hard for arbitrary polynomials via a generalization of a theorem of Motzkin and Straus. On the other hand, if the polynomial depends only on a fixed number of variables, while its degree and the dimension of the simplex are allowed to vary, we prove that integration can be done in polynomial time. As a consequence, for polynomials of fixed tota… Show more

“…For the simplex one can find several contributions in the literature for integrating polynomials and defining cubatures formula; see for instance the recent work of Baldoni et al [2] and the many references therein. But concerning the slice of a simplex it turns out that a formula for the volume of the slice has already been derived ... as a by-product in the construction of univariate B-splines!…”
