regeneration(List) -- solve a system of polynomial equations with regeneration method

Synopsis

Description

Regeneration is a blackbox method that obtains a numerical description of an algebraic variety. Note that Ws are not necessarily irreducible witness sets; use decompose(WitnessSet) to decompose into irreducibles.
i1 : R = CC[x,y]

o1 = R

o1 : PolynomialRing
i2 : F = {x^2+y^2-1, x*y};
i3 : regeneration F 

o3 = a "numerical variety" with components in

Caveat

This function is under development. It may not work well if the input represents a nonreduced scheme.The (temporary) option Output can take two values: Regular (default) and Singular. It specifies whether the algorithm attempts to keep singular points.
