Solving systems of polynomial equations by bounded and real homotopy (Q796260)

The homotopy method for solving systems of polynomial equations proposed by \textit{S.-N. Chow, J. Mallet-Paret} and \textit{J. A. Yorke} [Lect. Notes Math. 730, 77-88 (1979; Zbl 0427.65034)] is modified in two ways. First, the problem is set up in an appropriate projective complex n-space rather than in the affine complex n-space. That keeps the homotopy solution curves bounded (bounded homotopy). In addition, it was shown that the method works, i.e. all isolated zeroes including improper ones are obtained, for all but a few ''bad'' choices of some parameters. The set of ''bad'' parameters is a stratified set of codimension greater or equal to 1, which improves the usual generic results, where the ''bad'' parameters form a set of first category resp. a set of measure zero. The second modification deals with systems of polynomial equations with real coefficients. For this case a real homotopy (i.e. a homotopy formed by polynomials with real coefficients) is proposed, which works if one allows the homotopy solution curves to intersect at some isolated points. For the bounded homotopy numerical results are presented.
