This paper deals with the moment problem on a (not necessarily finitely generated) commutative unital real algebra $A$. We define moment functionals on $A$ as linear functionals which can be written as integrals over characters of $A$ with…
We present an expanded expository account of the $K$-moment problem for polynomial algebras over \(\R^d\), with special emphasis on compact basic closed semialgebraic sets. The central question is to characterize those linear functionals on…
We consider a closed set S in R^n and a linear operator \Phi on the polynomial algebra R[X_1,...,X_n] that preserves nonnegative polynomials, in the following sense: if f\geq 0 on S, then \Phi(f)\geq 0 on S as well. We show that each such…
The first part of this paper is devoted to an analysis of moment problems in R^n with supports contained in a closed set defined by finitely many polynomial inequalities. The second part of the paper uses the representation results of…
We study the computability of the operator norm of a matrix with respect to norms induced by linear operators. Our findings reveal that this problem can be solved exactly in polynomial time in certain situations, and we discuss how it can…
The multivariate moment problem is investigated in the general context of the polynomial algebra $\mathbb{R}[x_i \mid i \in \Omega]$ in an arbitrary number of variables $x_i$, $i\in \Omega$. The results obtained are sharpest when the index…
We study maximal representations of nonnegative sesquilinear forms in real or complex Hilbert spaces, that are not necessarily closed or even closable. We associate positive self-adjoint operators with such forms, in a sense similar to…
We introduce the notion of bilinear moment functional and study their general properties. The analogue of Favard's theorem for moment functionals is proven. The notion of semi-classical bilinear functionals is introduced as a generalization…
In this paper we study the linear functional $S$ on complex polynomials which is associated to a bounded complex Jacobi matrix $J$. The associated moment problem is considered: find a positive Borel measure $\mu$ on $\mathbb{C}$ subject to…
The main aim of this paper is to generalize the classical concept of positive operator, and to develop a general extension theory, which overcomes not only the lack of a Hilbert space structure, but also the lack of a normable topology. The…
The main result of the paper is a flat extension theorem for positive linear functionals on *-algebras. The theorem is applied to truncated moment problems on cylinder sets, on matrices of polynomials and on enveloping algebras of Lie…
For a given set of input-output pairs of quantum states or observables, we ask the question whether there exists a physically implementable transformation that maps each of the inputs to the corresponding output. The physical maps on…
For linear operators which factor with suitable assumptions concerning commutativity of the factors, we introduce several notions of a decomposition. When any of these hold then questions of null space and range are subordinated to the same…
In this article we consider means of positive operators on a Hilbert space. We extend the theory of matrix power means to arbitrary operator means in the sense of Kubo-Ando. The basis of the extension is relying on ideas coming from…
We prove two extension theorems for positive maps from operator systems into matrix algebras
We follow a stream of the history of positive matrices and positive functionals, as applied to algebraic sums of squares decompositions, with emphasis on the interaction between classical moment problems, function theory of one or several…
The article is devoted to investigation of the classes of functions belonging to the gaps between classes $P_{n+1}(I)$ and $P_{n}(I)$ of matrix monotone functions for full matrix algebras of successive dimensions. In this paper we address…
In this note we consider linear functionals on an unital commutative R-algebra. We give an integral representation of a nonnegative functional on an Archimedean cone where we do not assume that this cone is a semiring or a quadratic module.…
We characterize all linear operators on finite or infinite-dimensional spaces of univariate real polynomials preserving the sets of elliptic, positive, and non-negative polynomials, respectively. This is done by means of Fischer-Fock…
This paper introduces and develops the algebraic framework of moment polynomials, which are polynomial expressions in commuting variables and their formal mixed moments. Their positivity and optimization over probability measures supported…
