A solution has its k-th coordinate zero when the abs function evaluates to a number less than or equal to the given tolerance.

i2 : f = { x^3*y^5 + y^2 + x^2*y, x*y + x^2 - 1};

There is one solution with zero second coordinate:
i5 : zeroSols = zeroFilter(fSols,1,1.0e-10); |
i6 : zeroSols / print
{-1, 5.5696e-214}
{1, -9.28267e-214}

Here is another system where we filter solutions with ‘small’ first coordinate:
i7 : f = {x^2+y^2,y*x+x};
|
i8 : fSols = solveSystem(f); |
i9 : fSols/print
(1.54074e-32*ii, 3.99107e-32+8.91603e-33*ii)
{-ii, -1}
{ii, -1}
o9 = {, , }
o9 : List

i10 : zeroSols = zeroFilter(fSols,0,1.0e-10); |
i11 : zeroSols/print
(1.54074e-32*ii, 3.99107e-32+8.91603e-33*ii)

Good values for the tolerance are relative to the accuracy and the condition number of the solution. To improve the accuracy of a solution, apply refineSolutions with a higher working precision.
