Interval Arithmetic in Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition

Cylindrical algebraic decomposition requires many very time consuming operations, including resultant computation, polynomial factorization, algebraic polynomial gcd computation and polynomial real root isolation. We show how the time for algebraic polynomial real root isolation can be greatly reduced by using interval arithmetic instead of exact computation. This substantially reduces the overall time for cylindrical algebraic decomposition.
