PHCpack.jl

Julia wrapper for PHCpack. Provides the function phc to call PHCpack from Julia.

Uses the Julia package DynamicPolynomials.jl.

For instance, to solve the polynomial

f(x) = x^2 - 1

we type

using PHCpack
using DynamicPolynomials

@polyvar x
f = [x^2 - 1]

phc(f)

The full syntax of phc is as follows

phc(f::Vector{T};
    file_path = mktempdir(),
    phc_path = "",
    cmd_options = "-b",
    print_output = true)

where

• T is the polynomial type provided by DynamicPolynomials.
• file_path is the path to the folder where you want the input and output be saved to.
• phc_path is the path to the folder where the phc executable is saved to.
• cmd_options are the options passed to phc.
