A Newton homotopy is a homotopy that involves changing only the constant terms. They arise naturally, for example, when performing monodromy loops, moving end effectors of robots, and simply when trying to compute a solution to a square system of equations. Previous certified path tracking techniques have focused on using an a priori certified tracking scheme which means that the stepsize is constructed so that the result automatically satisfies some conditions. These schemes use pessimistic stepsizes that can be much smaller than those used by heuristic tracking methods. This article designs an a posteriori certification scheme that uses the result of a heuristic tracking scheme as input to produce a certificate that the path was indeed tracked correctly, e.g., no path jumpings occurred. By using an a posteriori approach, each step can be certified independently and thus certification of the path can be performed in parallel. Examples are presented demonstrating the efficiency of this a posteriori certification approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
