Description:: The Descartes method is an algorithm for isolating the realroots of square-free polynomialswith real coefficients. We assumethat coefficients are given as (potentially infinite)bit-streams. In otherwords, coefficients can be approximated to any desiredaccuracy, but are notknown exactly. We show thata variant of the Descartes algorithm can cope w...
