Zero-dimensional families of polynomial systems

If a real world problem is modelled with a system of polynomial equations, the coefficients are in general not exact. The consequence is that small perturbations of the coefficients may lead to big changes of the solutions. In this paper we address the following question: how do the zeros change whe...
