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…
A polynomial that is a sum of squares (SOS) of other polynomials is evidently positive. The converse is not true, there are positive polynomials which are not SOS. This note focuses on the problem of certifying, in exact arithmetic, that a…
If $f$ is a positive definite form, Reznick's Positivstellensatz [Mathematische Zeitschrift. 220 (1995), pp. 75--97] states that there exists $k\in\mathbf{N}$ such that ${\| x \|^{2k}_2}f$ is a sum of squares of polynomials. Assuming that…

We derive some Positivstellensatz\"e for noncommutative rational expressions from the Positivstellensatz\"e for noncommutative polynomials. Specifically, we show that if a noncommutative rational expression is positive on a polynomially…
The standard moment-sum-of-squares (SOS) hierarchy is a powerful method for solving global polynomial optimization problems. However, its convergence relies on Putinar's Positivstellensatz, which requires the feasible set to satisfy the…
The concept of sums of nonnegative circuit polynomials (SONC) was recently introduced as a new certificate of nonnegativity especially for sparse polynomials. In this paper, we explore the relationship between nonnegative polynomials and…
The representation of positive polynomials on a semi-algebraic set in terms of sums of squares is a central question in real algebraic geometry, which the Positivstellensatz answers. In this paper, we study the effective Putinar's…
The purpose of this paper is to give a characterization for polynomials and rational functions which admit only non-negative values on definable sets in real closed valued fields. That is, generalizing the relative positivstellens\"atze for…
We develop a general and unconditional framework for certifying the global nonnegativity of multivariate integer polynomials; based on rewriting them as sum of squares modulo their gradient ideals. We remove the two structural assumptions…
We introduce and study a cone which consists of a class of generalized polynomial functions and which provides a common framework for recent non-negativity certificates of polynomials in sparse settings. Specifically, this…
Recently a moment-sum-of-squares hierarchy for exit location estimation of stochastic processes has been presented. When restricting to the special case of the unit ball, we show that the solutions approach the optimal value by a…
Optimization over non-negative polynomials is fundamental for nonlinear systems analysis and control. We investigate the relation between three tractable relaxations for optimizing over sparse non-negative polynomials: sparse sum-of-squares…
Various key problems from theoretical computer science can be expressed as polynomial optimization problems over the boolean hypercube. One particularly successful way to prove complexity bounds for these types of problems are based on sums…
Signomials are obtained by generalizing polynomials to allow for arbitrary real exponents. This generalization offers great expressive power, but has historically sacrificed the organizing principle of ``degree'' that is central to…
This paper studies the complexity of matrix Putinar's Positivstellens{\"a}tz on the semialgebraic set that is given by the polynomial matrix inequality. \rev{When the quadratic module generated by the constrained polynomial matrix is…
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…
Preordered semialgebras and semirings are two kinds of algebraic structures occurring in real algebraic geometry frequently and usually play important roles therein. They have many interesting and promising applications in the fields of…
Given the projections of two semialgebraic sets defined by polynomial matrix inequalities, it is in general difficult to determine whether one is contained in the other. To address this issue we propose a new matrix Positivstellensatz that…
Recently, the conditional SAGE certificate has been proposed as a sufficient condition for signomial positivity over a convex set. In this article, we show that the conditional SAGE certificate is $\textit{complete}$. That is, for any…
