This hardness remains if $P$ is restricted to be a standard cube and $Q$ is restricted to be the affine image of a cross polytope. While this hardness classification by Freund and Orlin dates back to 1985, for general dimension there seems to be only limited progress on that problem so far.\n  Based on a formulation of the problem in terms of a bilinear feasibility problem, we study sum of squares certificates to decide the containment problem.
