Abstract

We address the decision problem for sentences involving univariate functions constructed from a fixed Pfaffian function of order 1. We present a new symbolic procedure solving this problem with a computable complexity based on the computation of suitable Sturm sequences. For a general Pfaffian function, we assume the existence of an oracle to determine the sign that a function of the class takes at a real algebraic number. As a by-product, we obtain a new oracle-free effective algorithm solving the same problem for univariate E-polynomials based on techniques that are simpler than the previous ones, and we apply it to solve a similar decision problem in the multivariate setting. Finally, we introduce a notion of Thom encoding for zeros of an E-polynomial and describe an algorithm for their computation.
