📝 Abstract
Region-of-attraction (ROA) certificates for polynomial systems become expensive as state dimension and degree grow: direct sum-of-squares (SOS) formulations require combinatorially growing monomial bases. Quadratization represents a polynomial vector field exactly on an invariant manifold of a quadratic system, allowing a quadratic Lyapunov function to certify the ROA. For a fixed lift, stabilizer gains shape the off-manifold extension and transverse dynamics, while representation gauges change the matrix representation but not the vector field. Both affect the spectral-norm certificate, yet prior work fixes the gain by a feasibility heuristic before optimizing the gauge. We formulate optimal dissipative quadratization (ODQ), jointly designing gains and gauges for a fixed monomial lift, reference extension, stabilizer factorization, and Lyapunov weight $Q=I$. Gains lie in a prescribed compact Hurwitz box. At each gain, an exact semidefinite program globally minimizes the spectral-norm bound over the gauge. Residual-aware bounds yield a certified closed Lyapunov sublevel set, accounting for the floating-point Lyapunov residual. Under our stated assumptions, every accumulation point of the idealized outer search is box-Clarke stationary. A finite run returns the best independently verified candidate; global optimality of the gain search is not claimed. On a planar quintic, optimizing the gain increases the certified area by a factor of $2.238$ over a matched zero-gain gauge. Across 16 heterogeneous polynomial systems with stabilizer freedom, ODQ improves on both fixed-gain lifted baselines. All 36 ODQ runs on the relay benchmark complete, and all 27 repeat-level comparisons across nine fully paired cases favor ODQ over an SOS baseline with a fixed quadratic Lyapunov function in both the fixed-direction proxy and construction time. Broader comparisons with direct SOS methods remain mixed.
