Abstract

In this paper the concept of neighborhood of a polynomial is analyzed. This concept is spreading into Scientific Computation where data are often uncertain, thus they have a limited accuracy. In this context we give a new approach based on the idea of using resultant in order to know the common factors between an empirical polynomial and a generic polynomial in its neighborhood. Moreover given a polynomial, the Square Free property for the polynomials in its neighborhood is investigated.
