CoincidentRootLoci -- A package for computations with coincident root loci

Description

This package accompanies the paper On the algebraic boundaries among typical ranks for real binary forms (see also Algebraic boundaries among typical ranks for real binary forms of arbitrary degree). It provides some tools that can be useful for working with symmetric tensors of dimension 2. Such tensors are bijectively associated with homogeneous polynomials in two variables, which are also called binary forms. One of the main methods is realrank, which uses QEPCAD to compute the real rank of binary forms defined over $\mathbb{Q}$.
