Root bounds and root counts for distinguished polynomials #
A monic polynomial distinguished in its full degree at a positive radius has all its roots in the corresponding closed disc. This uses only the Gauss-norm coefficient bounds, without Weierstrass division or preparation, and applies over ultrametric normed commutative rings with multiplicative norm, without completeness. It supplies the outer root bound for quotients of preparation polynomials at nested radii.
The polynomial root estimate is
Polynomial.Monic.exists_apply_pow_le_apply_coeff_of_eval_eq_zero.
Over an ultrametric normed field the two dominant degrees of a nonzero polynomial P at a
radius c > 0 count its roots, with multiplicity: the distinguished degree (the last index
attaining the Gauss norm) bounds the number of roots in the closed disc ‖x‖ ≤ c, and the
lowest dominant degree (the first such index) bounds the number in the open disc ‖x‖ < c.
When P splits both bounds are equalities, so their difference counts the roots on the sphere
‖x‖ = c. The linear factor X - b has distinguished degree 1 or 0 according as ‖b‖ ≤ c
or not, and lowest dominant degree 1 or 0 according as ‖b‖ < c or not; both degrees add
under products, and the factor of P without roots contributes nonnegative degrees. No
valuation, Newton polygon or completeness is involved; the counts in terms of the endpoints of a
finite Newton face for a real additive valuation are
Polynomial.card_filter_roots_lt_addValuation and Polynomial.card_filter_roots_le_addValuation.

Every root of a monic polynomial distinguished in its full degree lies in its closed disc. The coefficient ring need not be complete or a field.
The Gauss norm at a radius c ≥ 0 of the linear series X - b is max c ‖b‖. This is the
power series counterpart of Polynomial.gaussNorm_X_sub_C, for a norm that need not be
multiplicative.
A linear polynomial X - b whose root lies outside the closed disc of radius c > 0 is
distinguished of degree 0 at c: its Gauss norm ‖b‖ is attained only by the constant term.
