In 1990 Lazard proposed an improved projection operation for cylindrical algebraic decomposition (CAD). For the proof he introduced a certain notion of valuation of a multivariate Puiseux series at a point. However a gap in one of the key…

We consider cylindrical algebraic decompositions (CADs) as a tool for representing semi-algebraic subsets of $\mathbb{R}^n$. In this framework, a CAD $\mathscr{C}$ is adapted to a given set $S$ if $S$ is a union of cells of $\mathscr{C}$.…
