Abstract : We give smooth parametrizations (Cr, C or Nash) for several cases of the Positivstellensatz. This improves previous results where the parametrizations were obtained by means of semipolynomials (sup-inf combination of polynomial functions). A general homogeneous Positivstellensatz is obtained and used to get several homogeneous versions of the parametrization theorems.
