Abstract

The following theorem is proved. {\bf Theorem.} {\it Let P(x)=k=02nakxkP(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{2n} a_k x^k be a polynomial with positive coefficients. If the inequalities a2k+12a2ka2k+2<1cos2(πn+2)\frac{a_{2k+1}^2}{a_{2k}a_{2k+ 2}} < \frac{1}{cos^2(\frac{\pi}{n+2})} hold for all k=0,1,...,n1, k=0, 1, ..., n-1, then P(x)>0P(x)>0 for every xRx\in\mathbb{R} .} We show that the constant 1cos2(πn+2)\frac{1}{cos^2(\frac{\pi}{n+2})} in this theorem could not be increased. We also present some corollaries of this theorem.
