3 intersecting solution sets Consider the intersection two solution sets A and B, given by their respective systems f A and f B. For example: A is the line x 2 = 0, defined as one of the solution components of f A (x 1, x 2 )=x 1 x 2 = 0; and B is the line x 1 x 2 = 0, defined as one of the solution components of f B = x 1 (x 1 x 2 )=0. If we just stack the defining equations like { fa = x f (x) = 1 x 2 = 0 f B = x 1 (x 1 x 2 )=0 then the problem is that A B =(0, 0) does not occur as an irreducible solution component of f 1 (0).

4 sphere cylinder The curve C defined by this intersection is C := { (x 1, x 2, x 3 ) x x = 0 (x ) 2 + x x = 0 } Analytic Symbolic Computation (MCS 563) Diagonal Homotopies L April / 31

5 equations The equations f A (x) =x1 2 + x = 0 and f B (x) =(x ) 2 + x2 2 + x = 0 define a witness set representation of the cylinder and the sphere. Both sets are two dimensional and of degree two. Each witness set contains two random hyperplanes and two points of intersection of these hyperplanes with the defining equations. As the input is given as two witness sets, the output consists also of witness sets. Analytic Symbolic Computation (MCS 563) Diagonal Homotopies L April / 31

6 the idea Consider the product A B. The intersecting hyperplanes for A and B are respectively L A1, L A2 and L B1, L B2. Then we use u and v for the coordinates of A and B. A special instance of the diagonal homotopies is h(x, t) = (1 t) f A (u 1, u 2, u 3 )=0 f B (v 1, v 2, v 3 )=0 L A1 (u 1, u 2, u 3 )=0 L A2 (u 1, u 2, u 3 )=0 L B1 (v 1, v 2, v 3 )=0 L B2 (v 1, v 2, v 3 )=0 + t f A (u 1, u 2, u 3 )=0 f B (v 1, v 2, v 3 )=0 u 1 v 1 = 0 u 2 v 2 = 0 u 3 v 3 = 0 L AB (u 1, u 2, u 3 )=0. As t goes from 0 to 1, the deformation starts at pairs (α, β) A B, where α and β are witness point on A and B respectively satisfying f A (α) =0, f B (β) =0 and L A1 (α) =0 = L A2 (α), L B1 (β) =0 = L B2 (β). At t = 1 we find witness points on the curve of intersection. Analytic Symbolic Computation (MCS 563) Diagonal Homotopies L April / 31

8 the singular locus The singular locus of the solution set of f (x) =0 is where the Jacobian matrix J f (x) of f is singular. Using n auxiliary multipliers λ, we consider the intersection of A = f 1 (0) with the solution set B of the system { Jf (x)λ = 0 h T λ = 1 where h is a random vector of complex coefficients to scale the multiplier coefficients in the combinations of the columns of the Jacobian matrix.

9 a nontrivial example A nontrivial example from molecular chemistry: 1 2 (x x 2x 3 + x3 2)+a(x 2 2x 3 2 1) =0 f (x, a) = 1 2 (x x 3x 1 + x1 2)+a(x 3 2x 1 2 1) =0 1 2 (x x 1x 2 + x2 2)+a(x 1 2x 2 2 1) =0. For generic choices of the parameter a, the system f (x, a) =0 has 16 isolated solutions. Setting up the Jacobian system, we compute those values for a for which f (x, a) =0 has isolated singularities or positive dimensional solution sets.

11 restricted systems We generalize coefficient-parameter homotopies, for f (x, y) =0 over X Y, where Y is the parameter space. We want the solutions to f (x, y )=0, forsomey Y. 1 Choose a general y Y (y y ). D =#{ x f (x, y )=0 } is maximal for all y Y. 2 Construct a curve B Y connecting y to y. 3 Construct a map c :[0, 1] Γ B, Γ={ γ C γ = 1 }, so that c(0, Γ) = y and c(1, Γ) = y. 4 Choose γ Γ at random and track D solution paths defined by the homotopy f (x, c(t,γ)) = 0, starting at t = 0 at the solutions of f (x, y )=0 and ending at t = 1 at the desired solutions of f (x, y )=0.

12 embedding polynomial systems Let X be a reduced pure n-dimensional algebraic set and consider f in a cascade of embeddings E n (f )=E(f ) and E 0 (f )=f, where E i (f ) is restricted to Y i. E(f, x, z, Y )= [ f (x)+a T 2 z z A 0 A 1 x ] Y =(A0, A 1, A 2 ), A 0 C n 1, A 1 C n n, A 2 C n n. The stratification of the parameter space is Y 0 Y 1 Y n,last N i rows of Y i are zero.

13 a generalized cascade For random γ i C, γ i = 1, the homotopy H i (x, z, t, Y,γ i )= ( ) Ei 1 (f )(x, z, Y γ i (1 t) E i (f )(x, z, Y i )+t i 1 ) = 0, defines paths starting at t = 0 at the solutions of E i (f ), ending at t = 1 at the solutions of E i 1 (f ). Theorem For the homotopy H i (x, z, t, Y,γ i )=0 the following holds: 1 Solutions of H i (x, z, t = 0, Y,γ i )=0 with z =(z 1,z 2,...,z i ) 0 are regular, and stay regular for all t < 1. 2 Solutions of H i (x, z, t = 1, Y,γ i )=0 contain all witness sets on the (i 1)-dimensional components of f 1 (0). z i Analytic Symbolic Computation (MCS 563) Diagonal Homotopies L April / 31

Then A B = X where is the diagonal of C k+k defined by u 1 v 1 = 0 u 2 v 2 = 0 δ(u, v) := on X.. u k v k = 0 Notice: δ plays role of f in the abstract embedding.

18 input data for diagonal homotopies Let A C k be an irreducible component of f 1 A (0), dima = a; B C k be an irreducible component of f 1 B (0), dimb = b. Assuming a b and B A, then dim(a B) b 1. Randomize: F A (u) :=R(f A, k a) and F B (v) :=R(f B, k b). A B is a solution component of F(u, v) := [ FA (u) F B (v) ] = 0. Let {α 1,α 2,...,α deg A } satisfy F A (u) =0 and L A (u) =0; and {β 1,β 2,...,β deg B } satisfy F B (v) =0 and L B (v) =0, where L A (u) =0 is a system of a general hyperplanes; and L B (v) =0 is a system of b general hyperplanes.

29 intrinsic coordinates To avoid the doubling of the number of variables, we use parametric representations of the linear spaces. Let f be one polynomial defining a hypersurface: f (x 1, x 2,...,x n )=0 c 1,0 + c 1,1 x 1 + c 1,2 x c 1,n x n = 0 c 2,0 + c 2,1 x 1 + c 2,2 x c 2,n x n = 0. c n 1,0 + c n 1,1 x 1 + c n 1,2 x c n 1,n x n = 0 then we cut f 1 (0) with a line, represented as x = b + λv, b, v C n and we solve a univariate equation in λ: f (x = b + λv) =0.

30 solving equation-by-equation Diagonal homotopies lead to a numerical algorithm to solve polynomials systems one equation after the other. Symbolic approaches to solve equation-by-equation: lifting fibers for a geometric resolution, the algorithm F5 for a Gröbner basis. These methods compensate for a disappointing complexity and in practice, the polynomials in many systems occur in a regular sequence.

31 Summary + Exercises Diagonal homotopies provide numerical algorithms to intersect algebraic sets. Exercises: 1 Consider the intersection of {x = 0, y = 0} with {z = 0, w = 0}. Describe how the diagonal homotopy works for this example. 2 Set up the system for the nontrivial example to compute its singular locus. Use the diagonal homotopies available in phc -c to compute the singular values for a. Compute a witness set for those a which lead to positive dimensional solution sets. Apply deflation to treat isolated singular solutions. 3 Give algorithms to define the linear algebra operations to convert between extrinsic and intrinsic coordinate representations of witness sets for hypersurfaces.
