Putinar's Positivstellensatz is a central theorem in real algebraic geometry. It states the following: If you have a set $S= \{ x \in R^n \ | \ g_1 (x) \geq 0, ... , g_m(x) \geq 0\}$ described by some real polynomials $g_i$, then every real…

The Positivstellens\"atze of Putinar and Schm\"udgen show that any polynomial $f$ positive on a compact semialgebraic set can be represented using sums of squares. Recently, there has been large interest in proving effective versions of…

Schm\"udgen's Theorem says that if a basic closed semialgebraic set K = {g_1 \geq 0, ..., g_s \geq 0} in R^n is compact, then any polynomial f which is strictly positive on K is in the preordering generated by the g_i's. Putinar's Theorem…

Real algebraic geometry provides certificates for the positivity of polynomials on semi-algebraic sets by expressing them as a suitable combination of sums of squares and the defining inequalitites. We show how Putinar's theorem for…
