Handelman's Positivstellensatz for polynomial matrices positive definite on polyhedra

Algebraic Geometry 2017-08-10 v2

Abstract

In this paper we give a matrix version of Handelman's Positivstellensatz [1], representing polynomial matrices which are positive definite on convex, compact polyhedra. Moreover, we propose also a procedure to find such a representation. As a corollary of Handelman's theorem, we give a special case of Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz for polynomial matrices positive definite on convex, compact polyhedra.
