✦ Synopsis

Universal parametrizations have been developed as an useful tool for working with rational surfaces. For example, they allow the systematic classification of rational curves with low degree on the surface and can be used for interpolation problems. Unfortunately, it is conjectured, that not every rational surface has a universal parametrization. To make the advantages usable for more surfaces, we introduce "almost universal parametrizations" as a generalization of universal parametrizations. We present them exemplarily for a special class of cubic surfaces, which do probably not possess a universal parametrization, and show applications.

Universal parametrizations make it possible to find all rational parametrizations and all rational curves on an implicit surface. The rational curves and patches can be described with optimal degree as images under such a universal parametrization. Hence, the rational curves on the surface can be cl

In this paper we unify the two subjects of implicitization and parametrization of nonsingular cubic surfaces. Beginning with a cubic parametrization with six basepoints, we first form a three by four Hilbert-Burch matrix, and then a three by three matrix of linear forms whose determinant is the impl
