A smooth curve of degree d in the real projective plane is hyperbolic if its ovals are maximally nested, i.e., its real points contain [d/2] nested ovals. By the Helton-Vinnikov theorem, any such curve admits a definite symmetric determinantal representation. We use polynomial homotopy continuation to compute such representations numerically. Our method works by lifting paths from the space of hyperbolic polynomials to a branched cover in the space of pairs of symmetric matrices. |
