[Proof] Represent the polynomial P(x) as
P(x)=aF1(x)⋯Fm(x)G1(x)⋯Gk(x)
where Fi(x) and Gj(x) are
Fi(x)=x−αi;αi⩽0,i=1,2,⋯,mGj(x)=(x−βj)(x−βj),βj∈C\R,j=1,2,⋯,k
and a>0. Note that the product of polynomials with non-negative coefficients is still a polynomial with non-negative coefficients. Therefore, it suffices to prove that each polynomial Fi(x) and Gj(x) can be expressed as the quotient R(x)Q(x) of polynomials with non-negative coefficients. For the polynomial F(x)=x−α,α⩽0, take
Q(x)=F(x)=x+∣α∣,R(x)=1
Next, if Reβ⩽0, then for the polynomial
G(x)=(x−β)(x−βˉ),
let Q(x)=G(x)=x2+2∣Reβ∣x+∣β∣2,R(x)=1;
if Reβ>0, then assume argβ∈(0,2π), take n∈N, such that
2nargβ∈(2π,π)
and when S=0,1,⋯,n−1,
2Sargβ∈(0,2π)
Since arg(β2r)=2rargβ(0⩽r⩽n),
it follows that Re(β22)⩽0; and when S=0,1,⋯,n−1, Re(β2∗)>0, thus we have
G(x)≡(x−β)(x−βˉ)≡(x+β)(x+βˉ)(x2−β2)(x2−βˉ2)≡(x+β)(x+βˉ)(x2+β2)(x2+βˉ2)(x4−β4)(x4−βˉ4)≡⋯≡(x+β)(x+βˉ)⋯(x2n−1+β2n−1)(x2n−1+βˉ2n−1)(x2n−β2n)(x2n−βˉ2n)≡R(x)Q(x)
where
Q(x)=(x2n−β2n)(x2n−βˉ2n)R(x)=(x+β)(x+βˉ)⋯(x2n−1+β2n−1)(x2n−1+βˉ2n−1)
are polynomials with non-negative coefficients, because all polynomials
≡(xl+γ)(xl+γˉ)x2l+(2Reγ)xl+∣r∣2,l∈N,Rer>0
have non-negative coefficients.
