Cosmography represents an important branch of cosmology which aims to describe the universe without the need of postulating \emph{a priori} any particular cosmological model. All quantities of interest are expanded as a Taylor series around…

Constraints can be interpreted in a broad sense as any kind of explicit restriction over the parameters. While some constraints are defined directly on the parameter space, when they are instead defined by known behaviour on the model,…

We propose a new algorithm for numerical path tracking in polynomial homotopy continuation. The algorithm is `robust' in the sense that it is designed to prevent path jumping and in many cases, it can be used in (only) double precision…
