Abstract

We consider the problem of deciding whether a given system of quadratic homogeneous equations over the reals has non-trivial solution. We design an approximative algorithm whose complexity is polynomial in the number of variables and exponential in the number of equations. Some applications to general systems of polynomial equations and inequalities over the reals are discussed.
