Symmetric Subresultants and Applications
Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit
disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric
sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal
definition, we show that they satisfy a structure theorem which allows us to
compute them with a type of Euclidean division. As a consequence, a fast
algorithm based on a dichotomic process and FFT is designed. We prove also that
these symmetric sub-resultants have a deep link with Toeplitz matrices.
Finally, we propose a new algorithm of inversion for such matrices. It has the
same cost as those already known, however it is fraction-free and consequently
well adapted to computer algebra
