CGAL 5.5 - Polynomial
PolynomialTraits_d::SturmHabichtSequence Concept Reference

## Definition

Computes the Sturm-Habicht sequence (aka the signed subresultant sequence) of a polynomial $$f$$ of type PolynomialTraits_d::Polynomial_d with respect to a certain variable $$x_i$$. The Sturm-Habicht sequence is similar to the polynomial subresultant sequence of $$f$$ and its derivative $$f':=\frac{\partial f}{\partial x_i}$$ with respect to $$x_i$$. The implementation is based on the following definition:

Let $$n:=\deg f$$ and $$\delta_k:=(-1)^{k(k+1)/2}$$. For $$k\in\{0,\ldots,n\}$$, the $$k$$-th Sturm-Habicht polynomial of $$f$$ is defined as:

where $$\mathrm{Sres}_k(f,f')$$ is defined as in the concept PolynomialTraits_d::PolynomialSubresultants.

The result is written in an output range, starting with the $$0$$-th Sturm-Habicht polynomial (which is equal to the discriminant of $$f$$ up to a multiple of the leading coefficient).
