Parallel Sparse Linear Algebra for Homotopy Methods

Globally convergent homotopy methods are used to solve difficult nonlinear systems of equations by tracking the zero curve of a homotopy map. Homotopy curve tracking involves solving a sequence of linear systems, which often vary greatly in difficulty. In this research, a popular iterative solution...
