We show that for all i 0 the i-th mod 2 Betti number of compact nonsingular real algebraic varieties has a unique extension to a virtual Betti number Ξ² i defined for all real algebraic varieties, such that if Y is a closed subvariety of X then Ξ² i (X) = Ξ² i (X \ Y ) + Ξ² i (Y ). We show by example th

β¦ Synopsis
This paper presents a new encoding scheme for real algebraic number manipulations which enhances current Axiom's real closure. Algebraic manipulations are performed using different instantiations of sub-resultant-like algorithms instead of Euclidean-like algorithms. We use these algorithms to compute polynomial gcds and Bezout relations, to compute the roots and the signs of algebraic numbers. This allows us to work in the ring of real algebraic integers instead of the field of real algebraic numbers avoiding many denominators.

Dirichlet proved that for any real irrational number ΞΎ there exist infinitely many rational numbers p/q such that |ΞΎp/q| < q -2 . The correct generalization to the case of approximation by algebraic numbers of degree n, n > 2, is still unknown. Here we prove a result which improves all previous esti
