Let R be a real closed field, Q ⊂ R[Y1 , . . . , Yl, X1 , . . . , Xk], with degY(Q) ≤ 2, degX(Q) ≤ d, Q ∈ Q, #(Q) = m, and P ⊂ R[X1, . . . , Xk] with degX(P) ≤ d, P ∈ P, #(P) = s, and S ⊂ Rl+k a semi-algebraic set defined by a Boolean formula without negations, with atoms P = 0, P ≥ 0, P ≤ 0, P ∈ P ∪...
