two inequalities, Rev. Mat. Complut. 14 (2001), no. 1, 45–82.%$
ABSTRACT
We express the Euler-Poincaré characteristic of a semi-algebraic set, which is the intersection of a non-singular complete intersection with two polynomial inequalities, in terms of the signatures of appropriate bilinear symmetric forms.
