The cone of nonnegative polynomials with nonnegative coefficients and linear operators preserving this cone

Abstract

Let be the cone of real univariate polynomials of degree ≤ 2n which are nonnegative on the real axis and have nonnegative coefficients. We describe the extremal rays of this convex cone and the class of linear operators, acting diagonally in the standard monomial basis, preserving this cone.
