“…Most advanced software packages are perhaps the polynomial system solvers based on the homotopy continuation method [57,82], including PHCPACK [35,89], BERTINI [4,5] and MIXEDVOL [31]. There are also specialized implementations of algorithms such as approximate GCD finder QRGCD [14] that is bundled in recent Maple releases, approximate factorization [48], multiplicity structure [6,88], SNAP package [41] bundled in Maple, univariate factorization and multiple root solver MULTROOT [97], SYNAPS package [66], and COCOA [9,55,56], etc. Those packages provide a broad range of versatile tools for applications and academic research.…”
