| Abstract: | We give a Descartes’-like bound on the number of positive solutions to a system of fewnomials that holds when its exponent vectors are not in convex position and a sign condition is satisfied. This was discovered while developing algorithms and software for computing the Gale transform of a fewnomial system, which is our main goal. This software is a component of a package we are developing for Khovanskii-Rolle continuation, which is a numerical algorithm to compute the real solutions to a system of fewnomials. |
