We improve the local generic position method for isolating the real roots of
a zero-dimensional bivariate polynomial system with two polynomials and extend
the method to general zero-dimensional polynomial systems. The method mainly
involves resultant computation and real root isolation of univariate polynomial
equations. The roots of the system have a linear univariate representation. The
complexity of the method is O~B(N10) for the bivariate case, where
N=max(d,τ), d resp., τ is an upper bound on the degree, resp., the
maximal coefficient bitsize of the input polynomials. The algorithm is
certified with probability 1 in the multivariate case. The implementation shows
that the method is efficient, especially for bivariate polynomial systems.Comment: 24 pages, 5 figure
