Résumé

We give a constructive proof that R[X] is normal when R is normal. We apply this result to an operation needed for studying the henselization of a local ring. Our proof is based on the casewhere R is without zero divisors, which is more involved than the case where R is an integral domain. We have to use a constructive deciphering technique that replaces the use of minimal primes (in classical mathematics) by suitable explicit localizations in a suitable tree.
