Title Distance minimization following paths back to the roots
Summary In this thesis,optimization problems are considered as root fi nding problems. The first order optimality conditions give us the system of multivariate polynomial equations to solve for fi nding optimum points. We investigate the point that minimizes the total distance to a given set of circles and some other algebraic curves, writing the corresponding polynomial systems, nding the real roots with the homotopy method (Hom4PS-3) and certify them with alphaCerti ed.
