Modernizing PHCpack through phcpy (1310.0056v2)
Published 30 Sep 2013 in cs.MS, cs.SC, math.AG, and math.NA
Abstract: PHCpack is a large software package for solving systems of polynomial equations. The executable phc is menu driven and file oriented. This paper describes the development of phcpy, a Python interface to PHCpack. Instead of navigating through menus, users of phcpy solve systems in the Python shell or via scripts. Persistent objects replace intermediate files.
