Mixcell: A parallel mixed cell computation software package
Mixcell computes the mixed cells as well as the mixed volume of a set of convex polytopes in any dimension. The mixed volume is a functional arose in the study of linear combinations of multiple convex bodies. It has important applications in the study of system of polynomial equations as, by the Berstein’s theorem, the number of isolated solutions a system of polynomial equations has, counting multiplicity, is bounded by the mixed volume of Newton polytopes of the system. This bound is usually much tighter than another well studied bound, the Bezout number.
Mixcell is a software package that computes mixed volume and mixed cells using fast numerical algorithms. Mixcell is capable of performing computation in parallel on many parallel computer architectures.
