Abstract

top
In this note it is presented a new rational and continuous solution for Hilbert's 17th problem, which asks if an everywhere positive polynomial can be expressed as a sum of squares of rational functions. This solution (Theorem 1) improves the results in [2] in the sense that our parametrized solution is continuous and depends in a rational way on the coefficients of the problem (what is not the case in the solution presented in [2]). Moreover our method simplifies the proof and it is easy to generalize to other situations: for example in [4 or 5] we improve the results obtained in [7] giving more general rational and continuous solutions for several instances of Positivstellensatz (Theorem 2).
