Abstract
In this work we propose a general procedure for analyzing global minima of arbitrary mathematical programs which is based in probability measures and moments theory. We give a general characterization of global minima of arbitrary programs, and as a particular case, we characterize the global minima of unconstrained one dimensional polynomial programs by using a particular semidefinite program.
