New papers:
Danko Adrovic and Jan Verschelde: Computing Puiseux Series for Algebraic Surfaces. The abstract and manuscript.
Jan Verschelde and Genady Yoffe: Evaluating polynomials in several variables and their derivatives on a GPU computing processor. The abstract and manuscript.
My research interests concern the application of polynomial homotopy continuation to scientific and engineering problems . The methodology involves the following fields: Computational Algebraic Geometry, Symbolic-Numeric Computation, Combinatorial and Polyhedral Methods, Mathematical Software and Applications, and Supercomputing. See the poster about numerical algebraic geometry.
