2020 Mathematics Subject Classification: Primary: 12Y Secondary: 65T [MSN][ZBL]

The number of roots of an algebraic equation

$$f(x)=0$$ comprised in an interval $(a,b), a<b$, is equal to or is smaller, by an even number, than $\tau=t_1-t_2$, where $t_1$ is the number of changes in sign in the series of derivatives of the polynomial $f(x)$ at the point $a$, i.e. in the series

$$f(a),f'(a),\dots,f^{(n)}(a),$$ while $t_2$ is the number of changes in sign in this series at the point $b$. Each multiple root is counted according to its multiplicity. Established by F. Budan (1807) [Bu] and J. Fourier (1820) [Fo].

Comments

An application of the Budan–Fourier theorem in numerical analysis may be found in [BoSc], where it is used in the interpolation by spline functions.
