Aug 4, 2010 at 23:09 comment added Pete L. Clark @Raisa: you're welcome. Your followup is very interesting (and I can't answer it!). From the description of the Real Nullstellensatz I gave in my notes, it is not even clear that it is algorithmic, but it is: for instance, this follows from the decidability of real-closed fields. The algorithm that you would get by looking at it that way (e.g. via explicit quantifier elimination) is probably painfully slow. I am pretty sure that finding better algorithms for solving real polynomial systems is an active research field. I encourage you to ask another question about this.
Aug 4, 2010 at 22:37 comment added Raisa Thank you. This was a very helpful answer. But now I have a related question. How practical is Real Nullstellensatz for analyzing large systems with e.g. 12 equations and 12-15 unknowns, 16 equations and 16-24 unknowns, etc. Or is using this theorem similar to computing Groebner Basis and quickly becomes infeasible?
