Since the full strength of the theory of complete positivity is not restricted to finite dimensions, but works well also in the infinite-dimensional setting, we use it to tackle our problems. First we extend the characterization of the inclusion si185" class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16303675&_mathId=si185.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16303675&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=29018bc997dc690d441a39f3eb5cf63f" title="Click to view the MathML source">DL1⊆DL2class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> from monic LMIs to monic LOIs si8" class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16303675&_mathId=si8.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16303675&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=9848d1b0d56293f99e9157a8941eb88a" title="Click to view the MathML source">L1class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> and si9" class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16303675&_mathId=si9.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16303675&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=a4f94183d94405e61c12caa0267b325b" title="Click to view the MathML source">L2class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">. As a corollary one immediately obtains the description of a polar dual of a free Hilbert spectrahedron si1" class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16303675&_mathId=si1.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16303675&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=1fd026a2786fccf5876ac7d451a0a2f7" title="Click to view the MathML source">DLclass="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode"> and its projection, called a free Hilbert spectrahedrop. Further on, using this characterization in a separation argument, we obtain a certificate for multivariate matrix-valued nc polynomials F positive semidefinite on a free Hilbert spectrahedron defined by a monic LOI. Replacing the separation argument by an operator Fejér–Riesz theorem enables us to extend this certificate, in the univariate case, to operator-valued polynomials F . Finally, focusing on the algebraic description of the equality si10" class="mathmlsrc">class="formulatext stixSupport mathImg" data-mathURL="/science?_ob=MathURL&_method=retrieve&_eid=1-s2.0-S0022247X16303675&_mathId=si10.gif&_user=111111111&_pii=S0022247X16303675&_rdoc=1&_issn=0022247X&md5=d0779431dc1007a05caabc0b93927c9e" title="Click to view the MathML source">DL1=DL2class="mathContainer hidden">class="mathCode">, we remove the assumption of boundedness from the description in the LMIs case by an extended analysis. However, the description does not extend to LOIs case by counterexamples.
