Abstract

top
We present an implemented algorithmic method for counting and isolating all p-adic roots of univariate polynomials f over the rational numbers. The roots of f are uniquely described by p-adic isolating balls, that can be refined to any desired precision; their p-adic distances are also computed precisely. The method is polynomial space in all input data including the prime p. We also investigate the uniformity of the method with respect to the coefficients of f and the primes p. Our method thus provides information analogous to that provided by well-established real methods as, e.g., Cauchy bounds and Sturm sequences over the reals.
