Abstract

Consider real bivariate polynomials f and g, respectively having 3 and m monomial terms. We prove that for all m>=3, there are systems of the form (f,g) having exactly 2m-1 roots in the positive quadrant. Even examples with m=4 having 7 positive roots were unknown before this paper, so we detail an explicit example of this form. We also present an O(n^{11}) upper bound for the number of diffeotopy types of the real zero set of an n-variate polynomial with n+4 monomial terms.
