Summary: In this work, we prove that, under natural conditions, one can give representations of positive polynomials defined on a Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}$ where appear squares of rational fractions with specified denominators and the norm of powers of $S^*$ (where $S$ is the unilateral shift on ${\mathcal H}$). We generalize some recent results using functional analysis methods in finite dimensional case.
