Real solutions to systems of polynomial equations in Macaulay2. (English) Zbl 07898681

Summary: The Macaulay2 package RealRoots provides symbolic methods to study real solutions to systems of polynomial equations. It updates and expands an earlier package developed by Grayson and Sottile in 1999. We provide mathematical background and descriptions of the RealRoots package, giving examples which illustrate some of its implemented methods. We also prove a general version of Sylvester’s theorem whose statement and proof we could not find in the literature.
