contents We study a class of signomials whose positive support is the set of vertices of a simplex and which may have several negative support points in the simplex. Various groups of authors have provided an exact characterization for the global nonnegativity of a signomial in this class in terms of circuit signomials and that characterization provides a tractable nonnegativity test. We generalize this characterization to the constrained nonnegativity over a set $X$ under an additional convexity precondition in the exponential moment space. This provides a tractable nonnegativity test over $X$ for the class in terms of a power cone program. Our proof methods rely on a variant of the convex cone of constrained SAGE signomials (sums of arithmetic-geometric exponentials) and the duality theory.
