Computing all solutions to polynomial systems using homotopy continuation (Q1097645): Difference between revisions

The authors establish the principles of implementation and report on the performance of computer programs that use the homotopies described in their previous paper [ibid. 24, 101-113 (1987; reviewed above)]. Numerical results are presented on three typical problems from geometric modeling, chemical equilibrium studies and kinematics of mechanisms. Generally the new approach is faster and more reliable.
