Homotopy Continuation in Julia

This is a project for the "Laboratorio Computazionale" exam at the University of Pisa

Implemented

• Total-degree Homotopy with "Roots of unity" start system
• Euler-Newton predictor-corrector method with adaptive step size
• Homotopy Continuation for all roots of the target system

TODO

• Parallelization
• Projective coordinates (maybe)

Example systems

Here's some tests on 2x2 systems, with the plotted real approximate solutions

\begin{align*}
x^2 + y^2 - 4 &= 0 \\
xy - 1 &= 0 \\
\end{align*}

Single-threaded	Multi-threaded (nproc=8)

\begin{align*}
x^2 + y^2 - 2 &= 0 \\
xy - 1 &= 0 \\
\end{align*}

Single-threaded	Multi-threaded (nproc=8)

\begin{align*}
x^3 + 5x^2 - y - 10 &= 0 \\
2x^2 - y - 10 &= 0 \\
\end{align*}
