10:11:29 From Thomas Del Vecchio : (x^2 - 4) 10:13:47 From Ben Ryjikov : how many variables would it have to solve for to say that it works for all variables 10:16:32 From Thomas Del Vecchio : /\ 10:21:34 From Christopher Wolfrram : Still no algebra? 10:21:44 From Neil Ramaswamy : what’s the reasoning for no algebra? 10:21:45 From Daniel Kostovetsky : There exists a counterexample 10:21:48 From Jiahao Yuan : find a x that disatisfy 10:22:03 From Gene Siriviboon : For some x the inequality hold 10:23:35 From Christopher Wolfrram : What if there is one but its outside of the bounds? 10:23:45 From Christopher Wolfrram : (A counterexample) 10:24:12 From Christopher Wolfrram : Ah ok 10:35:18 From Max Heller : 6 10:35:19 From Gene Siriviboon : 5 10:35:20 From Thomas Del Vecchio : 8 10:35:21 From Mia Santomauro : -1 10:35:22 From Koyena Pal : 3 10:36:31 From Mia Santomauro : 0 10:36:32 From Julia McClellan : 0 10:36:33 From Ben Ryjikov : 0 10:36:36 From Gene Siriviboon : 2 10:39:06 From Neil Ramaswamy : yes 10:39:28 From Phunn Boonchouchouy : Does r have to be Int? 10:40:50 From Jiahao Yuan : is there a guarantee of within how many steps a S can be found? 10:41:17 From Jiahao Yuan : ok 10:41:29 From Phunn Boonchouchouy : I think it depends on the degree of polynomial 10:41:44 From Jiahao Yuan : some heuristics to be used? 10:48:46 From Mary Loukidi-Papanikoli : 32 bits? 10:49:18 From Christopher Wolfrram : Are these minimal? 10:49:37 From Mary Loukidi-Papanikoli : so shift right by 31 to get 0 for positive and 1 for negative 10:50:52 From Thomas Del Vecchio : Thank you!
