A Numerical Algorithm for Zero Counting. III: Randomization and Condition
Abstract
In a recent paper (Cucker, Krick, Malajovich and Wschebor, A Numerical Algorithm for Zero Counting. I: Complexity and accuracy, J. Compl.,24:582-605, 2008) we analyzed a numerical algorithm for computing the number of real zeros of a polynomial system. The analysis relied on a condition number kappa(f) for the input system f. In this paper, we look at kappa(f) as a random variable derived from imposing a probability measure on the space of polynomial systems and give bounds for both the tail Pkappa(f) > a and the expected value E(log kappa(f)).
