The command PositiveInequalities(rsas, R) returns the defining positive inequalities of the regular semi-algebraic system rsas. The polynomials must belong to R which must have characteristic zero.

See the page SemiAlgebraicSetTools for the definitions of a regular semi-algebraic system and that of a regular semi-algebraic set.
