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…
In the recent paper arXiv:0710.4085 was shown that any solution of "the polynomial moment problem", which asks to describe polynomials Q orthogonal to all powers of a given polynomial P on a segment, may be obtained as a sum of some…
The concept of moment differentiation is extended to the class of moment summable functions, giving rise to moment differential properties. The main result leans on accurate upper estimates for the integral representation of the moment…
We present a solution to the real multidimensional rational K-moment problem, where K is defined by finitely many polynomial inequalities. More precisely, let S be a finite set of real polynomials in X=(X_1,...,X_n) such that the…
Using standard tools of harmonic analysis, we state and solve the problem of moments for non-negative measures supported on the unit ball of a Sobolev space of multivariate periodic trigonometric functions. We describe outer and inner…
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…
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.…
A rational homogeneous (of degree one) positive real matrix-valued function is presented as the Schur complement of a block of the linear pencil with positive semidefinite matrix coefficients. The partial derivative numerators of a rational…
The main result of the paper gives criteria for extendibility of sesquilinear form-valued mappings defined on symmetric subsets of *-semigroups to positive definite ones. By specifying this we obtain new solutions of: * the truncated…
We begin a systematic study of positivity and moment problems in an equivariant setting. Given a reductive group $G$ over $\R$ acting on an affine $\R$-variety $V$, we consider the induced dual action on the coordinate ring $\R[V]$ and on…
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…
In this paper we obtain an algorithm towards solving the two-dimensional moment problem. This algorithm gives the necessary and sufficient conditions for the solvability of the moment problem. It is shown that all solutions of the moment…
We study several variants of decomposing a symmetric matrix into a sum of a low-rank positive semidefinite matrix and a diagonal matrix. Such decompositions have applications in factor analysis and they have been studied for many decades.…
We extend Haviland's theorem on the integral representation of positive linear functionals on usual (real multivariate) polynomials to the integral representation of positive linear maps on operator polynomials mapping into the space of…
Given two quasi-definite moment functionals, the corresponding orthogonal polynomial systems satisfy an algebraic differential relation(called an extended coherent pair). We study generalizing extended coherent pairs that unify extended…
The paper proves sum-of-square-of-rational-function based representations (shortly, sosrf-based representations) of polynomial matrices that are positive semidefinite on some special sets: $\mathbb{R}^n;$ $\mathbb{R}$ and its intervals…
In this paper, we consider linear functionals defined on an unital commutative real algebra A and establish characterizations for moment functionals on compact sets of characters that depend only on the given functional. For example, we…
This work is an extension of our earlier article, where a well-known integral representation of the logarithmic function was explored, and was accompanied with demonstrations of its usefulness in obtaining compact, easily-calculable, exact…
In recent years, the so-called polynomial moment problem, motivated by the classical Poincare center-focus problem, was thoroughly studied, and the answers to the main questions have been found. The study of a similar problem for rational…
The purpose of the paper is to review a variety of recent developments in the theory of positive solutions of general linear elliptic and parabolic equations of second-order on noncompact Riemannian manifolds, and to point out a number of…
