Chapter 6<br />

Exponential sums and<br />

sparse polynomial<br />

systems<br />

The objective of this chapter is to prove Kushnirenko’s<br />

and Bernstein’s theorems. We will need a few preliminaries of convex<br />

geometry.<br />

6.1 Legendre’s transform<br />

Through this section, let E be a Hilbert space.<br />

Definition 6.1. Recall that a subset U of E is convex if and only if,<br />

for all v 0 , v 1 ∈ U and for all t ∈ [0, 1], (1 − t)v 0 + tv 1 ∈ U.<br />
