Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Tabu Search Method for Finding Minimal Multi-Homogeneous Bézout NumberHassan M.S. Bawazir, Ali Abd RahmanProblem statement: A homotopy method has proven to be reliable for computing all of the isolated solutions of a multivariate polynomial system. The multi-homogeneous Bézout number of a polynomial system is the number of paths that one has to trace in order to compute all of its isolated solutions. Each partition of the variables corresponds to a multi-homogeneous Bézout number. … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 7,293 accessesView PDFCite
