“…We believe that our method can also be applied to obtain bounds for other algorithms in differential algebra, such as [1, Algorithm 3.6], and for algorithms from other theories, e.g., [7, Algorithm 3] for systems of difference equations. Because the reducibility of a polynomial can be expressed as a first-order existential formula, it seems plausible that the same methods could be applied to other algorithms dealing with difference [5] and differential-difference [6] equations that use factorization, because the corresponding theories satisfy the requirements of our approach [14, 16, 23]. However, we leave these for future research.…”
