Subresultants in multiple roots: an extremal case
We provide explicit formulae for the coefficients of the order-d polynomial
subresultant of (x-\alpha)^m and (x-\beta)^n with respect to the set of
Bernstein polynomials \{(x-\alpha)^j(x-\beta)^{d-j}, \, 0\le j\le d\}. They are
given by hypergeometric expressions arising from determinants of binomial
Hankel matrices.Comment: 18 pages, uses elsart. Revised version accepted for publication at

On the irreducibility of multivariate subresultants
Let be generic homogeneous polynomials in variables of
degrees respectively. We prove that if is an integer
satisfying then all multivariate
subresultants associated to the family in degree are
irreducible. We show that the lower bound is sharp. As a byproduct, we get a
formula for computing the residual resultant of
smooth isolated points in \PP^{n-1}.Comment: Updated version, 4 pages, to appear in CRA
Subresultants in Multiple Roots
We extend our previous work on Poisson-like formulas for subresultants in
roots to the case of polynomials with multiple roots in both the univariate and
multivariate case, and also explore some closed formulas in roots for
univariate polynomials in this multiple roots setting.Comment: 21 pages, latex file. Revised version accepted for publication in

Sylvester's Double Sums: the general case
In 1853 Sylvester introduced a family of double sum expressions for two
finite sets of indeterminates and showed that some members of the family are
essentially the polynomial subresultants of the monic polynomials associated
with these sets. A question naturally arises: What are the other members of the
family? This paper provides a complete answer to this question. The technique
that we developed to answer the question turns out to be general enough to
charactise all members of the family, providing a uniform method.Comment: 16 pages, uses academic.cls and yjsco.sty. Revised version accepted

Improved algorithm for computing separating linear forms for bivariate systems
We address the problem of computing a linear separating form of a system of
two bivariate polynomials with integer coefficients, that is a linear
combination of the variables that takes different values when evaluated at the
distinct solutions of the system. The computation of such linear forms is at
the core of most algorithms that solve algebraic systems by computing rational
parameterizations of the solutions and this is the bottleneck of these
algorithms in terms of worst-case bit complexity. We present for this problem a
new algorithm of worst-case bit complexity \sOB(d^7+d^6\tau) where and
denote respectively the maximum degree and bitsize of the input (and
where \sO refers to the complexity where polylogarithmic factors are omitted
and refers to the bit complexity). This algorithm simplifies and
decreases by a factor the worst-case bit complexity presented for this
problem by Bouzidi et al. \cite{bouzidiJSC2014a}. This algorithm also yields,
for this problem, a probabilistic Las-Vegas algorithm of expected bit
complexity \sOB(d^5+d^4\tau).Comment: ISSAC - 39th International Symposium on Symbolic and Algebraic

Polynomial Interrupt Timed Automata
Interrupt Timed Automata (ITA) form a subclass of stopwatch automata where
reachability and some variants of timed model checking are decidable even in
presence of parameters. They are well suited to model and analyze real-time
operating systems. Here we extend ITA with polynomial guards and updates,
leading to the class of polynomial ITA (PolITA). We prove the decidability of
the reachability and model checking of a timed version of CTL by an adaptation
of the cylindrical decomposition method for the first-order theory of reals.
Compared to previous approaches, our procedure handles parameters and clocks in
a unified way. Moreover, we show that PolITA are incomparable with stopwatch
automata. Finally additional features are introduced while preserving
decidability
New and Old Results in Resultant Theory
Resultants are getting increasingly important in modern theoretical physics:
they appear whenever one deals with non-linear (polynomial) equations, with
non-quadratic forms or with non-Gaussian integrals. Being a subject of more
than three-hundred-year research, resultants are of course rather well studied:
a lot of explicit formulas, beautiful properties and intriguing relationships
are known in this field. We present a brief overview of these results,
including both recent and already classical. Emphasis is made on explicit
formulas for resultants, which could be practically useful in a future physics
research.Comment: 50 pages, 15 figure
