Abstract
Sturm sequences are a method for computing the number of real roots of a univariate real polynomial inside a given interval efficiently. In this paper, this fact and a number of methods to construct Sturm sequences efficiently have been formalised with the interactive theorem prover Isabelle/HOL. Building upon this, an Isabelle/HOL proof method was then implemented to prove interesting statements about the number of real roots of a univariate real polynomial and related properties such as non-negativity and monotonicity.
