Complexity Of Computing Complex Zeros Of Structured Polynomial Systems
summary
An algorithm black box solve uses randomized homotopy continuation on unitary-orbit inputs to compute an approximate zero with probability ≥ 1 − ε under a regularity (square‑free) promise, charging O(L(F) · (Γ(F) log Γ(F) + log(1/ε)) · poly(N,D)) arithmetic steps on average, where L(F) counts black‑box evaluations and Γ is the gamma parameter controlling Newton radius. For Gaussian algebraic branching programs Γ^2 ≤ O(D^3(D + N log D)) so the expected cost is polynomial in N, D and L; step sizes and higher derivatives are estimated by randomized interpolation sampling and the method terminates almost surely.
