Some bounds for the number of components of real zero sets of sparse polynomials
We prove that the zero set of a 4-nomial in n variables in the positive orthant has at most three connected components. This bound, which does not depend on the degree of the polynomial, not only improves the best previously known bound (which was 10) but is optimal as well. In the general case we p...
