Abstract

We discuss the distribution of zeros of systems of random complex fewnomials. We choose the exponents as well as the coefficients at random. We obtain asymptotic  formulas for the distribution of zeros as the degrees tend to infinity and we show that the zeros are self-averaging in the sense that typical systems are close to the average behavior for large degrees.
