Abstract

Cylindrical algebraic formulas are an explicit representation of semialgebraic sets as finite unions of cylindrically arranged disjoint cells bounded by graphs of algebraic functions. We present a version of the Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) algorithm customized for solving systems of polynomial equations and inequalities over semialgebraic sets given in this representation. The algorithm can also be used to solve conjunctions of polynomial conditions in an incremental manner. We show application examples and give an empirical comparison of incremental and direct CAD computation.
