This is a library for computing homotopy continuation of a given root of one
dimensional sections of bivariate complex polynomials.
The output is a piecewise linear aproximation of the path followed by the root,
The output is a piecewise linear approximation of the path followed by the root,
with the property that there is a tubular neighborhood, with square transversal
section, that contains the actual path, and there is a three times thicker tubular
neigborhood guaranted to contain no other root of the polynomial. This second
neighborhood guaranted to contain no other root of the polynomial. This second
property ensures that the piecewise linear approximation computed from all roots
of a polynomial form a topologically correct deformation of the actual braid,
since the inner tubular neighborhoods cannot intersect.
The first version of the library was written in C, and provided only double
precission. This is the second version, rewritten in C++, and provides the
possibility of using arbitrary precission computations. Hence, it deppends on
possibility of using arbitrary precission computations. Hence, it depends on
the [MPFR](http://www.mpfr.org/) and [GMP](https://gmplib.org/) libraries.
