We show that every real nonnegative polynomial $f$ can be approximated as closely as desired by a sequence of polynomials $\{f_\epsilon\}$ that are sums of squares. Each $f_\epsilon$ has a simple et explicit form in terms of $f$ and…

We show that if a polynomial $f\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ is nonnegative on a closed basic semialgebraic set $X=\{x\in\mathbb{R}^n:g_1(x)\ge 0,\ldots,g_r (x)\ge 0\}$, where $g_1,\ldots,g_r\in\mathbb{R}[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$, then $f$ can be…

We show that every real polynomial $f$ nonnegative on $[-1,1]^{n}$ can be approximated in the $l_{1}$-norm of coefficients, by a sequence of polynomials $\{f_{\ep r}\}$ that are sums of squares. This complements the existence of s.o.s.…

Given a nonnegative polynomial f, we provide an explicit expression for its best $\ell_1$-norm approximation by a sum of squares of given degree.

We utilize the same technique as in [arXiv:2205.04254 (2022)] to provide some representations of polynomials non-negative on a basic semi-algebraic set, defined by polynomial inequalities, under more general conditions. Based on each…

To prove that a polynomial is nonnegative on R^n one can try to show that it is a sum of squares of polynomials (SOS). The latter problem is now known to be reducible to a semidefinite programming (SDP) computation much faster than…

This paper studies the representations of a non-negative polynomial $f$ on a non-compact semi-algebraic set $K$ modulo its critical ideal. Under the assumptions that the semi-algebraic set $K$ is regular and $f$ satisfies the boundary…

We completely characterize sections of the cones of nonnegative polynomials, convex polynomials and sums of squares with polynomials supported on circuits, a genuine class of sparse polynomials. In particular, nonnegativity is characterized…

Let $f_{1}, \ldots, f_{k}$ be polynomials defining an algebraic set in affine $n$-space over a finite field. Suppose $k>n$. We prove that there exists a system of polynomials $g_{1}, \ldots, g_{n}$, each being a linear combination with…

In 2008, M. Marshall settled a long-standing open problem by showing that if f(x,y) is a polynomial that is non-negative on the strip [0,1] x R, then there exist sums of squares s(x,y) and t(x,y) such that f(x,y) = s(x,y) + (x - x^2)…

Given polynomials f(x), g_i(x), h_j(x), we study how to minimize f on the semialgebraic set S = { x \in R^n: h_1(x)=...=h_{m_1}(x) =0, g_1(x) >= 0, ..., g_{m_2}(x) >= 0}. Let f_{min} be the minimum of f on S. Suppose S is nonsingular and…

The problem of characterizing a real polynomial $f$ as a sum of squares of polynomials on a real algebraic variety $V$ dates back to the pioneering work of Hilbert in [Mathematische Annalen 32.3 (1888): 342-350]. In this paper, we…

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…

We study the problem of representing multivariate polynomials with rational coefficients, which are nonnegative and strictly positive on finite semialgebraic sets, using rational sums of squares. We focus on the case of finite semialgebraic…

We provide a new degree bound on the weighted sum-of-squares (SOS) polynomials for Putinar-Vasilescu's Positivstellensatz. This leads to another Positivstellensatz saying that if $f$ is a polynomial of degree at most $2 d_f$ nonnegative on…

We study the problem of decomposing a non-negative polynomial as an exact sum of squares (SOS) in the case where the associated semidefinite program is feasible but not strictly feasible (for example if the polynomial has real zeros).…

Let $f,g_1,\dots,g_m$ be polynomials with real coefficients in a vector of variables $x=(x_1,\dots,x_n)$. Denote by $\text{diag}(g)$ the diagonal matrix with coefficients $g=(g_1,\dots,g_m)$ and denote by $\nabla g$ the Jacobian of $g$. Let…

Let $g_1,\dots, g_s \in \mathbb{R}[X_1,\dots, X_n,Y]$ and $S = \{(\bar{x},y)\in \mathbb{R}^{n+1} \mid g_1(\bar{x},y) \ge 0, \dots, g_s(\bar{x}, y) \ge 0\}$ be a non-empty, possibly unbounded, subset of a cylinder in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. Let…

The question of how to certify the non-negativity of a polynomial function lies at the heart of Real Algebra and it also has important applications to Optimization. In the setting of symmetric polynomials Timofte provided a useful way of…

Let $S=\{p_1,\dots,p_s\}$ be a finite non-empty set of distinct prime numbers, let $f\in \mathbb{Z}[X]$ be a polynomial of degree $n\ge 1$, and let $S'\subseteq S$ be the subset of all $p\in S$ such that $f$ has a root in $\mathbb{Z}_p$.…
