Abstract

We discuss the impact of data structures in quantifier elimination.
We analyze the arithmetic complexity of the feasibility problem in
linear optimization theory as a quantifier-elimination problem. For
the case of polyhedra defined by $2n$ halfspaces in $mathbb{R}^n$ we prove
that, if dense representation is used to code polynomials, any
quantifier-free formula expressing the set of parameters describing
nonempty polyhedra has size $Omega(4^{n})$.
