Introduction
In this tutorial we learn how to install python3-phcpy on Debian 12.
What is python3-phcpy
python3-phcpy is:
PHCpack is a software package to solve polynomial systems by homotopy continuation methods.
A polynomial system is given as a sequence of polynomials in several variables. Homotopy continuation methods operate in two stages. In the first stage, a family of polynomial systems (the so-called homotopy) is constructed. This homotopy contains a polynomial system with known solutions. In the second stage, numerical continuation methods are applied to track the solution paths defined by the homotopy, starting at the known solutions and leading to the solutions of the given polynomial system.
This package contains PHCpy, the Python interface to PHCpack.
