D.15.30.10 rootIsolationNoPreprocessing

Usage:

rootIsolationNoPreprocessing(I, B, eps); I ideal, B list of boxes, eps number;

Assume:

I is a zero-dimensional radical ideal

Return:

(L1, L2), where L1 contains boxes smaller than eps which may contain an element of V(I), i.e. a root and L2 contains boxes which contain exactly one element of V(I)

Purpose:

Given input box(es) start we try to find all roots of I lying in start by computing boxes that contain exactly one root. If eps > 0 then boxes that become smaller than eps will be returned.

Theory:

We first check for every box if it contains no roots by interval arithmetic. If this is inconclusive we apply the Newton step which, as outlined in [2] and [3], converges to a root lying in the starting box. If the result of the Newton step is already contained in the interior of the starting box, it contains a unique root.

Note:

While rootIsolation does, rootIsolationNoPreprocessing does not check input ideal for necessary conditions.
