X Abstract

We use Gale duality for polynomial complete intersections and adapt the proof of the fewnomial bound for positive solutions to obtain the bound (e^4+3) 2^(k choose 2) n^k/4 for the number of non-zero real solutions to a system of n polynomials in n variables having n+k+1 monomials whose exponent vectors generate a subgroup of Z^n of odd index. This bound exceeds the bound for positive solutions only by the constant factor (e^4+3)/(e^2+3) and it is asymptotically sharp for k fixed and n large.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
