A homotopy for solving polynomial systems (Q1079335): Difference between revisions

By the theorem of Bezout, a polynomial system has exactly \(d=d_ 1d_ 2...d_ n\) solutions in \({\mathbb{C}}P^ n\), if the number of solutions is finite. Here the solutions at infinity must also be counted. Those solutions give also rise to difficulties when continuation methods are applied. In the first paper, a simple transformation of the polynomials which corresponds to \({\mathbb{C}}^ n\to {\mathbb{C}}P^ n\) is described. The second paper presents a continuation method for finding all the solutions of polynomial systems.
