The open quadrant problem: A topological proof

Abstract: In this work we present a new polynomial map

f := (f_{1}, f_{2}) : {m a t h b b R}^{2} o {m a t h b b R}^{2}

whose image is the open quadrant

x > 0, y > 0 s u b s e t {m a t h b b R}^{2}

. The proof of this fact involves arguments of topological nature that avoid hard computer calculations. In addition each polynomial

f_{i} i n m a t h b b R [t x, t y]

has degree

l e q 16

and only

11

monomials, becoming the simplest known map solving the open quadrant problem.
