Calling Sequence

HasRealRoots(sys)

HasRealRoots(sys, vars)

Parameters

sys

-

list or set of polynomial equations with rational coefficients

vars

-

list of names; the indeterminates

Description

• 

The function HasRealRoots tests if the system of equations defined in sys has real roots.

• 

It returns a boolean, true if sys has real zeroes and false otherwise.

• 

The equations in sys must be polynomial with rational coefficients. Any polynomial p appearing in sys is interpreted as the equation p=0.

• 

When the list of names vars is provided, it must contain all the indeterminates appearing in sys. The order in the list is used for internal computations.
