  The paper deals with the problem of finding sparse solutions to systems of
polynomial equations possibly perturbed by noise. In particular, we show how
these solutions can be recovered from group-sparse solutions of a derived
system of linear equations. Then, two approaches are considered to find these
group-sparse solutions. The first one is based on a convex relaxation resulting
in a second-order cone programming formulation which can benefit from efficient
reweighting techniques for sparsity enhancement. For this approach, sufficient
conditions for the exact recovery of the sparsest solution to the polynomial
system are derived in the noiseless setting, while stable recovery results are
obtained for the noisy case. Though lacking a similar analysis, the second
approach provides a more computationally efficient algorithm based on a greedy
strategy adding the groups one-by-one. With respect to previous work, the
proposed methods recover the sparsest solution in a very short computing time
while remaining at least as accurate in terms of the probability of success.
This probability is empirically analyzed to emphasize the relationship between
the ability of the methods to solve the polynomial system and the sparsity of
the solution.
