Abstract
We consider the set of monic real univariate polynomials of a given degree with non-vanishing coefficients, with given signs of the coefficients and with given quantities of their positive and of their negative roots (all roots are distinct). For and for signs of the coefficients , we prove that the set of such polynomials having two positive, two negative and two complex conjugate roots, is not connected. For and for any , we give the exhaustive answer to the question for which signs of the coefficients there exist polynomials with such values of and .
