Real roots of univariate polynomials and straight line programs

We give a new proof of the NP-hardness of deciding the existence of real roots of an integer univariate polynomial encoded by a straight line program based on certain properties of the Tchebychev polynomials. These techniques allow us to prove some new NP-hardness results related to real root approx...

Sumario:We give a new proof of the NP-hardness of deciding the existence of real roots of an integer univariate polynomial encoded by a straight line program based on certain properties of the Tchebychev polynomials. These techniques allow us to prove some new NP-hardness results related to real root approximation for polynomials given by straight line programs. © 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
