A SONC polynomial is a sum of finitely many non-negative circuit polynomials, whereas a non-negative circuit polynomial is a non-negative polynomial whose support is a simplicial circuit. We show that there exist non-negative polynomials…
A non-negativity certificate (NNC) is a way to write a polynomial so that its non-negativity on a semialgebraic set becomes evident. Positivstellens\"atze (Ps\"atze) guarantee the existence of NNCs. Both, NNCs and Ps\"atze underlie powerful…

Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{R}^n$ be a compact semialgebraic set and let $f$ be a polynomial nonnegative on $S$. Schm\"udgen's Positivstellensatz then states that for any $\eta > 0$, the nonnegativity of $f + \eta$ on $S$ can be certified by…
