Abstract:
This paper provides documentation for the program PHC, a portable software
package for polynomial homotopy continuation.
Useful information is given on solving polynomial systems
by homotopy continuation methods, especially on various root counting
techniques and the construction of appropriate start systems.
The paper contains a shopping list on the ingredients
needed to brew a powerful solver.
We list an overview of our database of benchmark problems and comment on
practical programming aspects.
