Abstract

A CGS real QE method is a real quantifier elimination (QE) method which is composed of the computation of comprehensive Gröbner systems (CGSs) based on the theory of real root counting. Its fundamental algorithm was first introduced by Weispfenning in 1998. We further improved the algorithm in 2015 so that we can make a satisfactorily practical implementation. For its efficient implementation, there are several key issues we have to take into account. In this extended abstract we introduce them together with some important techniques for making an efficient CGS real QE implementation.
