-- INVARIANT CONDITION :
--   In order to get p(v) > 0, the zero vector must be in the first list,
--   so shifting is necessary.
--   The shift vector must be equal to the maximal element in the list,
--   w.r.t. the graded lexicographic ordening.
--   In this way, the shift vector is unique, which allows to `mirror'
--   the same operations for the mixed homotopy continuation.
