D.12.7.4 boundBuFou

Procedure from library rootsur.lib (see rootsur_lib).

Usage:
boundBuFou(p,a,b); p poly, a,b number

Return:
int: an upper bound for the number of real roots of p in (a,b], with the same parity as the actual number of roots (using the Budan-Fourier Theorem)

Assume:
- p is a univariate polynomial with rational coefficients
- a, b are rational numbers with a < b

Example:
 
LIB "rootsur.lib";
ring r = 0,x,dp;
poly p = (x+2)*(x-1)*(x-5);
boundBuFou(p,-3,5);
==> 3
boundBuFou(p,-2,5);
==> 2
