Newton homotopies and certification

Jonathan Hauenstein

University of Notre Dame, USA   -   hauenstein@nd.edu

A homotopy in which only the constant terms change is called a Newton homotopy. Such homotopies are used in moving robots, solving PDEs, and performing monodromy loops. This talk will introduce computations involving Newton homotopies, methods for a priori and a posteriori path tracking for Newton homotopies, and complexity results.

Joint work with Ian Haywood (North Carolina State University, USA) and Alan Liddell (University of Notre Dame, USA).
