section ‹Separation of Roots: Sturm›
text ‹We adapt the existing theory on Sturm's theorem to work on rational numbers instead of real
numbers. The reason is that we want to implement real numbers as real algebraic numbers with the
help of Sturm's theorem to separate the roots. To this end, we just copy the definitions of
of the algorithms w.r.t. Sturm and let them be executed on rational numbers. We then
prove that corresponds to a homomorphism and therefore can transfer the existing soundness results.›
