int _qqbar_validate_uniqueness(acb_t res, const fmpz_poly_t poly, const acb_t z, slong max_prec)source

Given a ball z known to contain at least one root of poly, tries to prove that it contains exactly one, by one step of the interval Newton method on a slightly enlarged ball. On success sets res to the resulting (possibly smaller) enclosure of the root and returns 1; otherwise returns 0. The working precision is chosen from the accuracy of z, up to max_prec bits (a value of 0 selects it automatically). Uniqueness on the enlarged ball implies uniqueness on z but not existence, which must be known beforehand.
