Under the displayed diagonal-sum convention, set on the unit circle. A Hermitian matrix then gives
Consequently proves nonnegativity. Conversely the Fejér–Riesz theorem produces the rank-one spectral-factor Gram matrix. This gives a semidefinite programming representation of nonnegative trigonometric polynomials. The reversed convention instead uses the unconjugated monomial vector.
Collect the factor's coefficients in the column vector and set
This is a Hermitian matrix and a positive semidefinite matrix, because for every complex vector ,
On the unit circle, expanding the modulus square gives
Uniqueness of the finite Laurent polynomial coefficients, proved as in part (b)(i), therefore gives
This is the rank-one spectral-factor Gram matrix. The matrix has matrix rank one when and zero when . The orientation is the PDF's convention: using instead would generally interchange and .
