Positive polynomials, convex integral polytopes, and a random walk problem [electronic resource] / David E. Handelman.

Emanating from the theory of C*-algebras and actions of tori theoren, the problems discussed here are outgrowths of random walk problems on lattices. An AGL (d, Z)-invariant (which is a partially ordered commutative algebra) is obtained for lattice polytopes (compact convex polytopes in Euclidean sp...
