These take advantage of Anderson's flat degeneration to a toric variety. When Anderson's degeneration embeds into projective space, our algorithm is a special case of a general toric two-step homotopy algorithm. When Anderson's degeneration is embedded in a weighted projective space, we explain how to lift to a projective space and construct an appropriate modification of the toric homotopy. Our algorithms are illustrated on several examples using Macaulay2.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2008.13055v1","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2008.13055v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"links_only","authors_date_abstract":"arXiv metadata, CC0 1.0 (https://info.arxiv.org/help/license), from the Kaggle arXiv metadata snapshot of 2026-09-12"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"numerical-homotopies-from-khovanskii-bases","repo_url":"https://github.com/EliseAWalker/KhovanskiiHomotopy","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
