Let a semialgebraic set be given by a quantifier-free formula of the first-order theory of real closed fields with atomic subformulae of type ( ≥ 0), 1 ≤ ≤k where the polynomials ε ℤ[,..., X] have degrees deg( < and the absolute value of each (integer) coefficient of is at most 2. An algorithm is designed which finds the connected components of the semialgebraic set in time. The best previously known bound for this problem follows from Collins' method of Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition.
