A lower bound for the positive real roots of a polynomial

### 10.4.4 A lower bound for the positive real roots of a polynomial

The poslbLMQ command uses the Local Max Quadratic (LMQ) Akritas-Strzebonski-Vigklas algorithm to find lower bounds for the positive real roots of polynomials.

- poslbLMQ takes P, a polynomial.
- poslbLMQ(P) returns a (non-optimal) lower bound for the positive real roots of P.
