Smale's alpha-theory uses estimates related to the convergence of Newton's method to give criteria implying that Newton iterations will converge quadratically to solutions to a square polynomial system. The program alphaCertified implements…
We develop algorithms for certifying an approximation to a nonsingular solution of a square system of equations built from univariate analytic functions. These algorithms are based on the existence of oracles for evaluating basic data about…
NLCertify is a software package for handling formal certification of nonlinear inequalities involving transcendental multivariate functions. The tool exploits sparse semialgebraic optimization techniques with approximation methods for…
We consider numerical certification of approximate solutions to a system of polynomial equations with more equations than unknowns by first certifying solutions to a square subsystem. We give several approaches that certifiably select which…
Let $\mathbb{Q}$ (resp. $\mathbb{R}$) be the field of rational (resp. real) numbers and $X = (X_1, \ldots, X_n)$ be variables. Deciding the non-negativity of polynomials in $\mathbb{Q}[X]$ over $\mathbb{R}^n$ or over semi-algebraic domains…
We establish interval arithmetic as a practical tool for certification in numerical algebraic geometry. Our software HomotopyContinuation.jl now has a built-in function certify, which proves the correctness of an isolated nonsingular…
We present the $\textit{NumericalImplicitization}$ package for $\textit{Macaulay2}$, which allows for user-friendly computation of the invariants of the image of a polynomial map, such as dimension, degree, and Hilbert function values. This…
Typically, there is no guarantee that a numerical approximation obtained using standard nonlinear equation solvers is indeed an actual solution, meaning that it lies in the quadratic convergence basin. Instead, it may lie only in the linear…
Numerical Algebraic Geometry uses numerical data to describe algebraic varieties. It is based on the methods of numerical polynomial homotopy continuation, an alternative to the classical symbolic approaches of computational algebraic…
Given a homotopy connecting two polynomial systems we provide a rigorous algorithm for tracking a regular homotopy path connecting an approximate zero of the start system to an approximate zero of the target system. Our method uses recent…
Smale's alpha-theory certifies that Newton iterations will converge quadratically to a solution of a square system of analytic functions based on the Newton residual and all higher order derivatives at the given point. Shub and Smale…
A challenging problem in computational mathematics is to compute roots of a high-degree univariate random polynomial. We combine an efficient multiprecision implementation for solving high-degree random polynomials with two certification…
The NumericalHilbert package for Macaulay2 includes algorithms for computing local dual spaces of polynomial ideals, and related local combinatorial data about its scheme structure. These techniques are numerically stable, and can be used…
We develop a new symbolic-numeric algorithm for the certification of singular isolated points, using their associated local ring structure and certified numerical computations. An improvement of an existing method to compute inverse systems…
It is highly desirable for a numerical approximation of a stationary point for a potential energy landscape to lie in the quadratic convergence basin of that stationary point. However, it is possible that an approximation may lie only in…
Computational tools in numerical algebraic geometry can be used to numerically approximate solutions to a system of polynomial equations. If the system is well-constrained (i.e., square), Newton's method is locally quadratically convergent…
The Macaulay2 package RealRoots provides symbolic methods to study real solutions to systems of polynomial equations. It updates and expands an earlier package developed by Grayson and Sottile in 1999. We provide mathematical background and…
Computing the real solutions to a system of polynomial equations is a challenging problem, particularly verifying that all solutions have been computed. We describe an approach that combines numerical algebraic geometry and sums of squares…
We revisit the problem of certifying the correctness of approximate solution paths computed by numerical homotopy continuation methods. We propose a conceptually simple approach based on a parametric variant of the Krawczyk method from…
Modern machine learning pipelines are built on numerical algorithms. Reliable numerical methods are thus a prerequisite for trustworthy machine learning and cyber-physical systems. Therefore, we contribute a framework for verified numerical…
