comparison to HOMPACK #4

Could you please comment on the main differences between PHCpack and http://www.netlib.org/hompack ?

janverschelde commented 10 years ago

The main difference is that PHCpack is specifically targeted for polynomial systems. HOMPACK provides continuation methods for general nonlinear systems and has extra drivers for polynomial systems. Another main difference is that PHCpack offers polyhedral homotopies, which are absent from HOMPACK.
