In mathematics, a moment matrix is a special symmetric square matrix whose rows and columns are indexed by monomials. The entries of the matrix depend on the product of the indexing monomials only (cf. Hankel matrices.)

Moment matricies play an important role in polynomial optimization, since semidefinite moment matricies correspond to sums of squares of polynomials.
