The main ideas of path following by predictor–corrector and piecewise-linear methods, and their application in the direction of homotopy methods and nonlinear eigenvalue problems are reviewed. Further new applications to areas such as polynomial systems of equations, linear eigenvalue problems, interior methods for linear programming, parametric programming and complex bifurcation are surveyed. Complexity issues and available software are also discussed.
