# Positive bases in spaces of polynomials

Positive bases in spaces of polynomials For a nonempty compact set $$\Omega\,\subseteq\,{\mathbb{R}}$$ we determine the maximal possible dimension of a subspace $$X\,\subseteq\,{\mathcal{P}}_{m}(\Omega)$$ of polynomial functions over Ω with degree at most m which possesses a positive basis. The exact value of this maximum depends on topological features of Ω, and we will see that in many of the cases m can be achieved. Whereas only for low m or finite sets Ω it is possible that we have a subspace X with positive basis and with dim X = m + 1. Hence there is no Ω for which a positive basis exists in $${\mathcal{P}}_{m}$$ for all $$m\,\in\,\mathbb{N}$$ . http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Positivity Springer Journals
