A DISINTEGRATION OF THE CHRISTOFFEL FUNCTION

Résumé

We show that the Christoffel function (CF) factorizes (or can be disintegrated) as the product of two Christoffel functions, one associated with the marginal and the another related to the conditional distribution, in the spirit of "the CF of the disintegration is the disintegration of the CFs". In the proof one uses an apparently overlooked property (but interesting in its own) which states that any sum-of-squares polynomial is the Christoffel function of some linear form (with a representing measure in the univariate case). The same is true for the convex cone of polynomials that are positive on a basic semi-algebraic set. This interpretation of the CF establishes another bridge between polynomials optimization and orthogonal polynomials.
