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
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
It is well known that a real algebraic surface is real rational if and only if it is complex rational and connected. In this paper, we give an explicit construction for a large class of surfaces that satisfy this criterion.
