Computing Limits of Real Multivariate Rational Functions

Published:20 July 2016Publication History

ABSTRACT

We present an algorithm for determining the existence of the limit of a real multivariate rational function q at a given point which is an isolated zero of the denominator of q. When the limit exists, the algorithm computes it, without making any assumption on the number of variables.

A process, which extends the work of Cadavid, Molina and Velez, reduces the multivariate setting to computing limits of bivariate rational functions. By using regular chain theory and triangular decomposition of semi-algebraic systems, we avoid the computation of singular loci and the decomposition of algebraic sets into irreducible components.
