Paramotopy is software which solves parametrized polynomial systems in parallel, using Bertini as the underlying mathematical solver. It is a numeric menu-driven program, run from the command line.
You can download a preprint of our paper on this software here.
Features:
- MPI parallelization,
- computer-generated parameter mesh, or user-supplied for arbitrary sampling,
- re-solution at failed paths,
- matlab scripts to gather and plot generated data,
- user’s manual,
- free.
We use Bertini
Bertini is a numerical solver. More specifically, it is a homotopy continuation solver, producing solutions to polynomial systems. Invoked from the command line, it uses a text file input, declaring functions, variables, constants, and a plethora of configuration parameters.
