Condition Number Analysis for Sparse Polynomial Systems

  • Conference paper
Foundations of Computational Mathematics

Abstract

Is a sparse polynomial system more easy to solve than a non sparse one? In this paper we introduce a new invariant, the sparse condition number, and we study sparse polynomial system analysis in terms of this invariant.
