Title
A Baby Step–Giant Step Roadmap Algorithm for General Algebraic Sets
Abstract
Let $$\\mathrm {R}$$ R be a real closed field and $$\\mathrm{D}\\subset \\mathrm {R}$$ D ¿ R an ordered domain. We present an algorithm that takes as input a polynomial $$Q \\in \\mathrm{D}[X_{1},\\ldots ,X_{k}]$$ Q ¿ D [ X 1 , ¿ , X k ] and computes a description of a roadmap of the set of zeros, $$\\mathrm{Zer}(Q,\\,\\mathrm {R}^{k}),$$ Zer ( Q , R k ) , of Q in $$\\mathrm {R}^{k}.$$ R k . The complexity of the algorithm, measured by the number of arithmetic operations in the ordered domain $$\\mathrm{D},$$ D , is bounded by $$d^{O(k \\sqrt{k})},$$ d O ( k k ) , where $$d = \\deg (Q)\\ge 2.$$ d = deg ( Q ) ¿ 2 . As a consequence, there exist algorithms for computing the number of semialgebraically connected components of a real algebraic set, $$\\mathrm{Zer}(Q,\\,\\mathrm {R}^{k}),$$ Zer ( Q , R k ) , whose complexity is also bounded by $$d^{O(k \\sqrt{k})},$$ d O ( k k ) , where $$d = \\deg (Q)\\ge 2.$$ d = deg ( Q ) ¿ 2 . The best previously known algorithm for constructing a roadmap of a real algebraic subset of $$\\mathrm {R}^{k}$$ R k defined by a polynomial of degree d has complexity $$d^{O(k^{2})}.$$ d O ( k 2 ) .
