Univariate Rational Sums of Squares

Given rational univariate polynomials f and g such that gcd(f, g) and f / gcd(f, g) are relatively prime, we show that g is non-negative on all the real roots of f if and only if g is a sum of squares of rational polynomials modulo f. We complete our study by exhibiting an algorithm that produces a certificate that a polynomial g is non-negative on the real roots of a non-zero polynomial f , when the above assumption is satisfied.
