An Elementary Recursive Bound for Effective Positivstellensatz and Hilbert's 17th Problem

The authors prove an elementary recursive bound on the degrees for Hilbert's 17th problem. More precisely they express a nonnegative polynomial as a sum of squares of rational functions and obtain as degree estimates for the numerators and denominators the following tower of five exponentials 2...
