Abstract

Suppose A={a1,,an+2}ZnA=\{a_1,\ldots,a_{n+2}\}\subset\mathbb{Z}^n has cardinality n+2n+2, with all the coordinates of the aja_j having absolute value at most dd, and the aja_j do not all lie in the same affine hyperplane. Suppose F=(f1,,fn)F=(f_1,\ldots,f_n) is an n×nn\times n polynomial system with generic integer coefficients at most HH in absolute value, and AA the union of the sets of exponent vectors of the fif_i. We give the first algorithm that, for any fixed nn, counts exactly the number of real roots of FF in in time polynomial in log(dH)\log(dH).
