As a consequence, we derive an alternative algorithm to decide whether a linear polynomial divides a bivariate polynomial (with exactly t non-zero terms) over a real number field K within [ log(H(f)H(a)H(b)) [K:Q}] log(deg(f)) t]^{O(1)} bit operations.6 pages, no figuresAlgebraic GeometryThe number of real roots of a bivariate polynomial on a linetext
