โฆ Synopsis
A method is presented tor isolating and refining the real roots of polynomials with either integer or real algebraic number coefficients. For root isolation the method uses a well-known algorithm that is based on Descartes' rule of signs. However, exact arithmetic is replaced as far as possible by validated double precision floating point arithmetic. The resulting method is powerful and very fast

The fact that a real univariate polynomial misses some real roots is usually overcome by considering complex roots, but the price to pay for, is a complete loss of the sign structure that a set of real roots is endowed with (mutual position on the line, signs of the derivatives, etc.). In this paper
