Abstract
For a nonempty compact set OmegasubseteqmathbbR we determine the maximal possible dimension of a subspace XsubseteqmathcalP mOmega of polynomial functions over Ω with degree at most m which possesses a positive basis The exact value of this maximum depends on topological features of Ω and we will see that in many of the cases m can be achieved Whereas only for low m or finite sets Ω it is possible that we have a subspace X with positive basis and with dim X = m + 1 Hence there is no Ω for which a positive basis exists in mathcalP m for all minmathbbN
