4.3 Classification of global solution methods

Global solution methods are designed to compute all roots in some area of interest. In recent computational algebraic geometry related research, three classes of methods for the computation of solutions of nonlinear polynomial systems can be distinguished [300]: (1) algebraic and hybrid techniques, (2) homotopy (continuation) methods, (3) subdivision methods. We will briefly review these three types of techniques.
