Abstract

An algorithm is designed which tests solvability of a system of k polynomial equations in n variables with degrees d within complexity polynomial in \(n^{d^{3k}}\). If the system is solvable then the algorithm yields one of its solutions. Thus, for fixed d, k the complexity of the algorithm is polynomial.
