The set of non-linear equations describing the Standard Model kinematics of the top quark an- tiqark production system in the dilepton decay channel has at most a four-fold ambiguity due to two not fully reconstructed neutrinos. Its most precise and robust solution is of major importance for measurements of top quark properties like the top quark mass and t t spin correlations. Simple algebraic operations allow to transform the non-linear equations into a system of two polynomial equations with two unknowns. These two polynomials of multidegree eight can in turn be an- alytically reduced to one polynomial with one unknown by means of resultants. The obtained univariate polynomial is of degree sixteen and the coefficients are free of any singularity. The number of its real solutions is determined analytically by means of Sturm’s theorem, which is as well used to isolate each real solution into a unique pairwise disjoint interval. The solutions are polished by seeking the sign change of the polynomial in a given interval through binary brack- eting. Further a new Ansatz - exploiting an accidental cancelation in the process of transforming the equations - is presented. It permits to transform the initial system of equations into two poly- nomial equations with two unknowns. These two polynomials of multidegree two can be reduced to one univariate polynomial of degree four by means of resultants. The obtained quartic equation can be solved analytically. The analytical solution has singularities which can be circumvented by the algebraic approach described above.
