    The authors prove that in solving systems of nonlinear equations, a homotopy with a given structure has a distance monotone path under some regular conditions. The so-called local straighten-up method and global straighten-up method, as well as an adaptive step-size control strategy, are developed to approximate the optimal homotopy.
