Abstract:
We proved the existence of exact quadrature formulae with semi-positive definite coefficient matrices for polynomials of prescribed degree in variables and with respect to a semi-spectral measure. Our proof could be viewed as a direct translation (generalization) of Putinar's result on the existence of quadrature formulae for a positive measure without compact support.
