Abstract
We extend the algorithms of Robinson, Smyth, and McKee--Smyth to enumerate all real-rooted integer polynomials of a fixed degree, where the first few (at least three) leading coefficients are specified. Additionally, we introduce new linear programming algorithms to enumerate all feasible interlacing polynomials of a given polynomial that comes from a certain family of real-rooted integer polynomials. These algorithms are further specialised for the study of real equiangular lines, incorporating additional number-theoretic constraints to restrict the enumeration. Our improvements significantly enhance the efficiency of the methods presented in previous work by the authors.
