Use SameTest option in Union
f[x_, y_] := Sin[x] Cos[y];
data = Flatten[Table[{{x, y}, f[x, y]},
{x, 0, 2 Pi}, {y, 0, 2 Pi}], 1];
g = Interpolation[data, InterpolationOrder -> 4];
grad = D[g[x, y], {{x, y}, 1}];
Off[FindRoot::reged, InterpolatingFunction::dmval];
soln1 = Flatten[
Table[FindRoot[grad,
{{x, x0, 0, 2 Pi}, {y, y0, 0, 2 Pi}}],
{x0, 0, 2 Pi}, {y0, 0, 2 Pi}], 1];
soln2 = Union[soln1,
SameTest ->
(Chop[#1[[1, 2]] - #2[[1, 2]]] == 0 &&
Chop[#1[[2, 2]] - #2[[2, 2]]] == 0 &)];
soln3 = Union[soln1,
SameTest ->
(Rationalize[#1, 10^-10] ===
Rationalize[#2, 10^-10] &)];
Length /@ {soln1, soln2, soln3}
{49,13,13}
soln2 == soln3
True

Assume I have the following code to find extrema of the
function interpolating Sin[x]Cos[y] in the square [0,2Pi]x[0,2Pi]:
f[x_, y_] := Sin[x ] Cos[y]
data = Flatten[
Table[{{x, y}, f[x, y]}, {x, 0, 2 Pi}, {y, 0,
2 Pi}], 1]
g = Interpolation[data, InterpolationOrder -> 4]
grad = D[g[x, y], {{x, y}, 1}]
Table[FindRoot[grad, {{x, x0, 0, 2 Pi}, {y, y0, 0, 2 Pi}}], {x0, 0,
2 Pi}, {y0, 0, 2 Pi}]
This will yield a list of the extrema, some of them are equivalent, but since the starting point of the algorithm is different every time one will get numerical errors that leads to tiny differences in the final values. Therefore, some entries of this list which ought to be equivalent are treated like distinct elements. Union[] or subsequent use of N[] with a given precision and Union[] won't help me get rid of the redundant elements. Any ideas how to bypass this problem?
