In a recent work Shub (Found. Comput. Math. 9:171–178, 2009), Shub obtained a new upper bound for the number of steps needed to continue a known zero η0 of a system f0, to a zero ηT of an input system fT, following the path of pairs (ft, ηt), where $${f_t,tin[0,T]}$$ is a polynomial system and ft(ηt) = 0. He proved that if one can choose the step-size in an optimal way, then the number of steps is essentially bounded by the length of the path of (ft, ηt) in the so-called condition metric. However, the proof of that result in Shub (Found. Comput. Math. 9:171–178, 2009) is not constructive. We give an explicit description of an algorithm which attains that complexity bound, including the choice of step-size.
