A ROBUST NUMERICAL PATH TRACKING ALGORITHM FOR POLYNOMIAL HOMOTOPY CONTINUATION

Abstract
En 中文
We propose a new algorithm for numerical path tracking in polynomial homotopy continuation. The algorithm is robust in the sense that it is designed to prevent path jumping, and in many cases it can be used in (only) double precision arithmetic. It is based on an adaptive stepsize predictor that uses Pade techniques to detect local difficulties for function approximation and danger for path jumping. We show the potential of the new path tracking algorithm through several numerical examples and compare it with existing implementations.
