Abstract

We develop a probabilistic test for the vanishing of radical expressions, that is, expressions involving the four rational operations (+,−,×,÷) and square root extraction. This extends the well-known Schwartz’s probabilistic test for the vanishing of polynomials. The probabilistic test forms the basis of a new theorem prover for conjectures about ruler & compass constructions. Our implementation uses the Core Library which can perform exact comparison for radical expressions. Some experimental results are presented.
