A Condition for Multiplicity Structure of Univariate Polynomials
share
We consider the problem of finding a condition for a univariate polynomial having a given multiplicity structure when the number of distinct roots is given. It is well known that such conditions can be written as conjunctions of several polynomial equations and one inequation in the coefficients, by using repeated parametric gcd's. In this paper, we give a novel condition which is not based on repeated gcd's. Furthermore, it is shown that the number of polynomials in the condition is optimal and the degree of polynomials is smaller than that in the previous condition based on repeated gcd's.
