The Pythagoras number of real sum of squares polynomials and sum of square magnitudes of polynomials
In this paper, we conjecture a formula for the value of the Pythagoras number for real multivariate sum of squares polynomials as a function of the (total or coordinate) degree and the number of variables. The conjecture is based on the comparison between the number of parameters and the number of conditions for a corresponding low-rank representation. This is then numerically verified for a nu...
متن کاملBounds on the Pythagoras number of the sum of square magnitudes of complex polynomials
This paper presents lower and upper bounds on the Pythagoras number of sum of square magnitudes of complex polynomials using well-known results on a system of quadratic polynomial equations. Applying this method, a new proof for the upper bound of the Pythagoras number of real polynomials is also presented.
متن کاملEnhancing Educational Metadata Management Systems to Support Interoperable Learning Object Repositories
Educational metadata can significantly assist the effective retrieval of educational resources. Currently, there are a number of tools for educational metadata authoring, facilitating the manipulation of educational metadata files. This paper outlines the requirements, and proposes an architecture for the development of a compete LRM management system which go beyond metadata authoring, support...
متن کاملNonextensive Pythagoras' Theorem
Kullback-Leibler relative-entropy, in cases involving distributions resulting from relative-entropy minimization, has a celebrated property reminiscent of squared Euclidean distance: it satisfies an analogue of the Pythagoras’ theorem. And hence, this property is referred to as Pythagoras’ theorem of relative-entropy minimization or triangle equality and plays a fundamental role in geometrical ...
متن کاملOn the Pythagoras numbers of real analytic set germs
We show that: (i) the Pythagoras number of a real analytic set germ is the supremum of the Pythagoras numbers of the curve germs it contains, and (ii) every real analytic curve germ is contained in a real analytic surface germ with the same Pythagoras number (or Pythagoras number 2 if the curve is Pythagorean). This gives new examples and counterexamples concerning sums of squares and positive ...
