Let P is an element of Z[X] be a polynomial of degree p with coefficients in the monomial basis of bit-size bounded by tau. If P is positive on [-1, 1], we obtain a certificate of positivity (i.e., a description of P making obvious that it is positive) of bit-size O(p(4)(tau + log(2) p)). Previous comparable results had a bit-size complexity exponential in p and tau (Powers and Reznick in Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 352( 10): 4677 - 4692, 2000; Powers and Reznick in J. Pure Appl. Algebra 164: 221 - 229, 2001).
