contents Polynomial system solving has seen major progress in both theory and practice over the past decade. A landmark achievement was addressing Smale's 17th problem, establishing average-case polynomial-time algorithms for computing approximate solutions of polynomial systems via homotopy continuation. Recent improvements in complexity bounds for these algorithms led to the development of rigid homotopy methods. In this article, we prove a new complexity result for rigid homotopies for polynomial systems with Waring representations of prescribed length. In addition, we provide the first computational experiments for rigid homotopies using a preliminary implementation.
