On sign conditions over real multivariate polynomials (0801.0586v2)
Published 3 Jan 2008 in math.AG, cs.CG, and cs.SC
Abstract: We present a new probabilistic algorithm to find a finite set of points intersecting the closure of each connected component of the realization of every sign condition over a family of real polynomials defining regular hypersurfaces that intersect transversally. This enables us to show a probabilistic procedure to list all feasible sign conditions over the polynomials. In addition, we extend these results to the case of closed sign conditions over an arbitrary family of real multivariate polynomials. The complexity bounds for these procedures improve the known ones.
