## Robust certified numerical homotopy tracking.(English)Zbl 1267.14075

The authors describe an algorithmic scheme for the linear homotopy method in solving systems of polynomial equations. The linear bit length complexity of the algorithm is established. Two computational experimental results of the algorithm are presented. One of them involves a small family of equations, and the other comes from an application in enumerative geometry.
