            Many algorithms for determining properties of semi-algebraic sets rely upon the ability to compute smooth points [1]. We present a simple procedure based on computing the critical points of some well-chosen function that guarantees the computation of smooth points in each connected bounded component of a real atomic semi-algebraic set. Our technique is intuitive in principal, performs well on previously difficult examples, and is straightforward to implement using existing numerical algebraic geometry software. The practical efficiency of our approach is demonstrated by solving a conjecture on the number of equilibria of the Kuramoto model for the
            n
            = 4 case. We also apply our method to design an efficient algorithm to compute the real dimension of algebraic sets, the original motivation for this research.

We compare two natural approaches to define locally quadratically convergent iterations: the first one involves Newton iteration applied to the approximate roots individually and then interpolation to find the RUR of these approximate roots; the second one considers the coefficients in the exact RUR as zeroes of a high dimensional map defined by polynomial reduction and applies Newton iteration on this map. We prove that over fields with a p-adic valuation these two approaches give the same iteration function. However, over fields equipped with the usual Archimedean absolute value they are not equivalent. In the latter case, we give explicitly the iteration function for both approaches. Finally, we analyze the parallel complexity of the different versions of the global Newton iteration, compare them, and demonstrate that they can be efficiently computed. The motivation for this study comes from the certification of approximate roots of overdetermined and singular polynomial systems via the recovery of an exact RUR from approximate numerical data.}, booktitle={Computer Algebra in Scientific Computing}, publisher={Springer International Publishing}, author={Hauenstein, Jonathan D. and Pan, Victor Y. and Szanto, Agnes}, year={2014}, pages={202–217} }

In some cases, these non-solutions could be misleading. Proving that a numerical approximation will quadratically converge to a stationary point is termed certification.

The definition of these sets depends on deflation, a procedure that uses differentiation to regularize solutions. A weak form of deflation has proven useful in regularizing algebraic sets, making them amenable to treatment by the algorithms of numerical algebraic geometry. We introduce a strong form of deflation and define deflation sequences, which, in a different context, are the sequences arising in Thom–Boardman singularity theory. We then define isosingular sets in terms of deflation sequences. We also define the isosingular local dimension and examine the properties of isosingular sets. While isosingular sets are of theoretical interest as constructs for describing singularity structures of algebraic sets, they also expand the kinds of algebraic set that can be investigated with methods from numerical algebraic geometry.}, number={3}, journal={FOUNDATIONS OF COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS}, author={Hauenstein, Jonathan D. and Wampler, Charles W.}, year={2013}, month={Jun}, pages={371–403} }
