Abstract
Let be a nonconstant form in with . If has strictly positive coefficients for some integer , we show that has strictly positive coefficients for all sufficiently large . More generally, for any such , and any form that is strictly positive on , we show that the form has strictly positive coefficients for all sufficiently large . This result can be considered as a strict Positivstellensatz for forms relative to . We give two proofs, one based on results of Handelman, the other on techniques from real algebra.
