The algorithm performs just a finite number of decisions to check whether a point is or not in the zero set of the ideal. Moreover, we extend this technique to test, in the same fashion, if the elimination of somevariables in the given ideal yields or not the zero ideal. Finally, the role of this technique in the context of automated theorem proving of elementary geometry statements, is presented, with references to recent documents describing the excellent performance of the already existing prototype version, implemented in GeoGebra.
