Description for Positive Polynomials
Hardcover. Positivity is one of the most basic mathematical concepts, involved in many areas of mathematics (analysis, real algebraic geometry, functional analysis, etcetera). This book gives useful characterizations of polynomials. Series: Springer Monographs in Mathematics. Num Pages: 269 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PBF.

Positivity is one of the most basic mathematical concepts. In many areas of mathematics (like analysis, real algebraic geometry, functional analysis, etc.) it shows up as positivity of a polynomial on a certain subset of R^n which itself is often given by polynomial inequalities. The main objective of the book is to give useful characterizations of such polynomials. It takes as starting point Hilbert's 17th Problem from 1900 and explains how E. Artin's solution of that problem eventually led to the development of real algebra towards the end of the 20th century. Beyond basic knowledge in algebra, only valuation theory ... Read more

Reviews for Positive Polynomials
From the reviews of the first edition: "This is a nicely written introduction to ‘reality’ and ‘positivity’ in rings, and besides students and researchers it can also be interesting for anyone who would like to learn more on positivity and orderings." (Vilmos Totik, Acta Scientiarum Mathematicarum, Vol. 68, 2002) "A book on ‘real ... Read more
