Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition (CAD) is a pivotal algorithmic technique in real algebraic geometry, instrumental in resolving problems expressed in a first‐order language over the reals. By ...

Knot theory, a branch of topology, examines the intricate properties of closed curves embedded in three-dimensional space. At its core is the study of knot invariants—quantitative measures that remain ...
