Description

One may specify which software is used in homotopy continuation. Possible values for internal software are:

• M2 -- use top-level Macaulay2 homotopy continuation routines
• M2engine -- use subroutines implemented in Macaulay2 engine (DEFAULT)
• M2enginePrecookedSLPs -- (reserved for developers)

An external program may be used to replace a part of functionality of the package provide the corresponding software is installed:

• PHCPACK -- use PHCpack for homotopy continuation
• BERTINI -- use Bertini for homotopy continuation
• HOM4PS2 -- use HOM4PS for homotopy continuation

Functions with optional argument named Software :

• gateHomotopy(...,Software=>...) -- specifies where evaluation should be done (M2=top level, M2engine=core)
• trackHomotopy(...,Software=>...) -- see numerical homotopy tracking options -- options for core functions of Numerical Algebraic Geometry
• hypersurfaceSection(...,Software=>...)
• isOn(...,Software=>...)
• numericalIrreducibleDecomposition(...,Software=>...)
• parameterHomotopy(...,Software=>...)
• refine(...,Software=>...)
• regeneration(...,Software=>...)
• setDefault(...,Software=>...)
• solveSystem(...,Software=>...)
• track(...,Software=>...)
