Preconditioned sequential and parallel conjugate gradient algorithms for homotopy curve tracking

<p>There are algorithms for finding zeros or fixed points of nonlinear systems of equations that are globally convergent for almost all starting points, i.e., with probability one. The essence of all such algorithms is the construction of an appropriate homotopy map and then tracking some smoo...
