✦ Synopsis

A system of functions satisfies Descartes' rule of signs if the number of zeros (with multiplicities) of a linear combination of these functions is less than or equal to the number of variations of strict sign in the sequence of the coefficients. In this paper we characterize the systems of functions satisfying a stronger property than the above mentioned Descartes' rule: The difference between the number of zeros and the changes of sign in the sequence of coefficients must be always a nonnegative even number. We show that the approximation to the number of zeros given by these systems of functions is better than the approximation provided by any other systems of functions satisfying a Descartes' rule of signs. This last result improves, in the particular case of polynomials, the main theorem of [14].

## Abstract This paper revisits the Descartes' rules of signs and provides new bounds for the number of complex roots of a polynomial in certain complex regions. We also prove that the Descartes' rules associated with the Bernstein basis are exact for polynomials whose roots are real. (© 2005 WILEY
