Metrics associated to multivariate polynomial inequalities

Len Bos, Norm Levenberg and Shayne Waldron


Abstract:


We discuss the Caratheodory type distance due to Dubiner for a compact set K in R^m and introduce a Finsler type distance based on Baran's generalisation of the van der Corput-Schaake polynomial inequality. We then discuss the examples of K a sphere, ball, cube and simplex.
