Abstract

Given real numbers ββ(4) ⁣:β00\beta \equiv \beta ^{\left( 4\right) }\colon \beta_{00}, β10\beta _{10}, β01\beta _{01}, β20\beta _{20}, β11\beta _{11}, β02 \beta _{02}, β30\beta _{30}, β21\beta _{21}, β12\beta _{12}, β03\beta _{03}, β40\beta _{40}, β31\beta _{31}, β22\beta _{22}, β13\beta _{13}, β04\beta _{04}, with β00>0\beta _{00} >0, the quartic real moment problem for β\beta entails finding conditions for the existence of a positive Borel measure μ\mu , supported in R2\mathbb{R}^2, such that βij=sitjdμ    (0i+j4)\beta _{ij}=\int s^{i}t^{j}\,d\mu \;\;(0\leq i+j\leq 4) . Let M(2)\mathcal{M}(2) be the 6 x 6 moment matrix for β(4)\beta^{(4)}, given by M(2)i,j:=βi+j\mathcal{M}(2)_{\mathbf{i},\mathbf{j}}:=\beta_{\mathbf{i}+\mathbf{j}}, where i,jZ+2\mathbf{i},\mathbf{j} \in \mathbb{Z}^2_+ and i,j2\left|\mathbf{i}\right|,\left|\mathbf{j}\right|\le 2. In this note we find concrete representing measures for β(4)\beta^{(4)} when M(2)\mathcal{M}(2) is nonsingular; moreover, we prove that it is possible to ensure that one such representing measure is 6-atomic.
