Abstract
In this chapter we show that many of the results obtained so far still remain true when we replace “sums of squares” by “sums of 2mth powers.” Clearly, such sums inherit all the properties of “positivity,” but in a more refined way. Thus “generalizing” a result from sums of squares to sums of 2mth powers actually represents a strengthening.
