Spectrahedron

A spectrahedron

In convex geometry, a spectrahedron is a shape that can be represented as a linear matrix inequality. Alternatively, the set of n × n positive semidefinite matrices forms a convex cone in Rn × n, and a spectrahedron is a shape that can be formed by intersecting this cone with a linear affine subspace.

Spectrahedra are the solution spaces of semidefinite programs.[1]
