objectBFMSS extends ZeroBoundFunction with Product with Serializable
An implementation of "A Separation Bound for Real Algebraic Expressions",
by Burnikel, Funke, Mehlhorn, Schirra, and Schmitt. This provides a good
ZeroBoundFunction for use in sign tests.
Unlike the paper, we use log-arithmetic instead of working with exact,
big integer values. This means our bound isn't technically as good as it
could be, but we save the cost of working with arithmetic. We also perform
all log arithmetic using Longs and check for overflow (throwing
ArithmeticExceptions when detected). In practice we shouldn't hit this
limit, but in case we do, we prefer to throw over failing silently.
