Abstract
We show how are located the positive roots of the Euler polynomiale n of degreen. We give an upper bound and a lower bound for the greatest root. This permits to determine an integerv (n) such that the number of positive roots ofE n is eitherv (n) orv (n) +2. We also study the behaviour of ther-th positive root ofE n asn tends to infinity.
