Abstract

Collins [4] observed that quantifier elimination problems often have equational constraints, and he asserted that such constraints can be used to reduce the projection sets required for cylindrical algebraic decomposition (cad) based quantifier elimination. This paper provides a detailed partial validity proof for the restricted equational projection method outlined by Collins [4]. The proof is sufficient to validate the use of the method for the first projection of the projection phase. 4 further consequence is that the method can be used for both the first and second projections in the case of a trivariate quantifier elimination problem having sufficient equational constraints.
