Note on the end game in homotopy zero curve tracking.

Homotopy algorithms to solve a nonlinear system of equations f(x) = 0 involve tracking the zero curve of a homotopy map p(a, &lgr;, x) from &lgr; = 0 until &lgr; = 1. When the algorithm nears or crosses the hyperplane &lgr; = 1, an ?end game? phase is begun to compute the solution x¯...
