On real Waring decompositions of real binary forms

Algebraic Geometry 2019-11-19 v2

Abstract

The Waring Problem over polynomial rings asks how to decompose a homogeneous polynomial pp of degree dd as a finite sum of dd-{th} powers of linear forms. In this work we give an algorithm to obtain a real Waring decomposition of any given real binary form pp of length at most its degree. In fact, we construct a semialgebraic family of Waring decompositions for pp. Some examples are shown to highlight the difference between the real and the complex case.
