Feb 16, 2011 at 23:37 comment added Danny Kane The system of polynomial equations comes from a real machine. So, if i have an exhaustive, finite number of solutions, I can test on the machine. You are right, my remark about the univariate case is wrong and misleading. So, I need either of: 1) A numerical solution for an zero-dimensional system or 2) A numerical least-square solution to an over-constrained system.

Feb 16, 2011 at 4:30 comment added Gerry Myerson What do you mean by "the right solution"? If you are saying that one of the solutions is right, and the others are wrong, what are the distinguishing features of the right one? On the other hand, if you're happy with any solution (as your remark about the univariate case suggests), what's wrong with Newton's Method, as long as it converges to some solution?
