Sorry for the wordiness of the thread title.

Basically I'm wondering, if you have two implicit functions, F(x,y)=0 and G(x,y)=0 (typically rational functions with numerator and denominator very high degree polynomials), both dependent upon the same K (in my case > 34) dimensional set of parameters - a for i = 1 to K; are there any established numerical techniques to speed up a search of the parameter space to find a set of parameters for which the 2 curves in the x-y plane (defined by the functions F and G) have a given number of intersections, say N?

Cheers!

You can apply algebraic geometry to some extent, but this depends on many things you haven't said. But algebraic geometry would be the direction in which I sought.
