Sum of Even Powers of Real Linear Forms

Download or read book Sum of Even Powers of Real Linear Forms written by Bruce Arie Reznick and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1992 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work initiates a systematic analysis of the representation of real forms of even degree as sums of powers of linear forms and the resulting implications in real algebraic geometry, number theory, combinatorics, functional analysis, and numerical analysis. The proofs utilize elementary techniques from linear algebra, convexity, number theory, and real algebraic geometry and many explicit examples and relevant historical remarks are presented.
