Polyhedra and spectrahedra over the real numbers, or more generally their images under linear maps, are respectively the feasible sets of linear and semidefinite programming, and form the family of semidefinite-representable sets. This paper studies analogues of these sets, as well as the associated optimization problems, when the data are taken over a valued field $K$. For $K$-polyhedra and linear programming over $K$ we present an algorithm based on the computation of Smith normal forms. We prove that fundamental properties of semidefinite-representable sets extend to the valued setting. In particular, we exhibit examples of non-polyhedral $K$-spectrahedra, as well as sets that are semidefinite-representable over $K$ but are not $K$-spectrahedra.
