msolveRealSolutions -- compute all real solutions to a zero dimensional system using symbolic methods

Usage:

msolveRealSolutions(I)

msolveRealSolutions(I, K)
Inputs:
- I, an ideal, which is zero dimensional, in a polynomial ring with coefficients over QQ
- K, a ring or an instance of the type RingFamily, the field to find answers in, which must be one of QQi (default), QQ, RR, or RRi (possibly with specified precision)
Optional inputs:
- Threads => an integer, default value 5, number of processor threads to use;
- Verbosity => an integer, default value 0, level of verbosity between 0, 1, and 2;
Outputs:
- a list, of lists; each entry in the list consists of a list representing the coordinates of a solution. By default each solution coordinate value is also represented by a rational interval consisting of a two element list of rational numbers, {a, b}, this means that that coordinate of the solution has a value greater than or equal to a and less than or equal to b. This interval is computed symbolically and its correctness is guaranteed by exact methods.

Description

This functions uses the msolve package to compute the real solutions to a zero dimensional polynomial ideal with either integer or rational coefficients.

The second input is optional, and indicates the alternative ways to provide output either using an exact rational interval QQi, a real interval RRi, or by taking a rational or real approximation of the midpoint of the intervals.

Note in cases where solutions have multiplicity this is not reflected in the output. While the solver does not return multiplicities, it reliably outputs the verified isolating intervals for multiple solutions.
