โฆ Synopsis
A generalized projective implicitization theorem is presented that can be used to solve the implicitization of rational parametric curves and surfaces in an affine space. The Groebner bases technique is used to implement the algorithm. The algorithm has the advantages that it can handle base points in a parametrization, and no extra factors will be introduced into an implicit equation. The complexity of the algorithm in terms of the degrees of the polynomials in the Groebner basis is better than the existing method.

The parametrization problem asks for a parametrization of an implicitly given surface, in terms of rational functions in two variables. We give an algorithm that decides if such a parametric representation exists, based on Castelnuovo's rationality criterion. If the answer is yes, then we compute su
A canal surface is the envelope of a one-parameter set of spheres with radii r(t) and centers m(t). It is shown that any canal surface to a rational spine curve m(t) and a rational radius function r(t) possesses rational parametrizations. We derive algorithms for the computation of these parametriza
