The algebraic degree of semidefinite programming
Given a generic semidefinite program, specified by matrices with rational entries, each coordinate of its optimal solution is an algebraic number. We study the degree of the minima...

Comparing Real Algebraic Numbers of Small Degree
We study polynomials of degree up to 4 over the rationals or a computable real subfield. Our motivation comes from the need to evaluate predicates in nonlinear computational geome...
