A positive definite polynomial Hessian that does not factor

The notion of sos-convexity has recently been proposed as a tractable sufficient condition for convexity of polynomials based on a sum of squares decomposition of the Hessian matrix. A multivariate polynomial p(x) = p(x[subscript 1],...,x[subscript n])is said to be sos-convex if its Hessian H(x) can...
