Abstract

This paper is concerned with the study of the measure of an univariate polynomial. We present a collection of known results of this quantity and propose some algorithms to compute it. These algorithms are either new or variants of known ones; some are algebraic, others are semi-numerical. In the course of this study we show (or recall) how linearly recursive sequences can be used in elimination problems. We also propose algorithms for computing the number of complex zeros of a polynomial which lie outside of the unit circle. The paper ends with examples and estimates of the cost of the algorithms.
