solveSystem(List) -- solve a square system of polynomial equations

Synopsis

Description

Solve a system of polynomial equations using homotopy continuation methods.
i1 : R = CC[x,y];
i2 : F = {x^2+y^2-1, x*y};
i3 : solveSystem F / first                                

o3 = {{-1.12511e-15-1.18792e-15*ii, -1}, {-1, -9.6115e-17+1.17499e-15*ii},
     ------------------------------------------------------------------------
     {1, 2.00198e-16-1.19581e-15*ii}, {1.12511e-15+1.18792e-15*ii, 1}}

o3 : List

Caveat

The system is assumed to be square (#equations = #variables) and have finitely many solutions.
