We present algorithms to compute the topology of 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves. The algorithms are based on the fact that 2D and 3D hyperelliptic curves can be seen as the image of a planar curve (the Weierstrass form of the curve), whose…
Converting a parametric curve into the implicit form, which is called implicitization, has always been a popular but challenging problem in geometric modeling and related applications. However, the existing methods mostly suffer from the…
By introducing a class of meromorphic functions with certain ramification structures on $\Bbb{CP}^1$, a new method for the determination of the Legendre representation of elliptic curves with complex multiplication is introduced. These…
We classify completely the intersections of the Hermitian curve with parabolas in the affine plane. To obtain our results we employ well-known algebraic methods for finite fields and geometric properties of the curve automorphisms. In…
Computing occluding contours is a key building block of non-photorealistic rendering, but producing contours with consistent visibility has been notoriously challenging. This paper describes the first general-purpose smooth surface…
Membranes holomorphically embedded in flat noncompact space are constructed in terms of the degrees of freedom of an infinite collection of 0-branes. To each holomorphic curve we associate infinite-dimensional matrices which are static…
We present a set of conditions which, if satisfied, provide for a complete asymptotic analysis of random matrices with source term containing two distinct eigenvalues. These conditions are shown to be equivalent to the existence of a…
In this paper, we describe an algorithm for fitting an analytic and bandlimited closed or open curve to interpolate an arbitrary collection of points in $\mathbb{R}^{2}$. The main idea is to smooth the parametrization of the curve by…
Constructions and exploration of plane algebraic curves has received a new push with the development of automated methods, whose algorithms are continuously improved and implemented in various software packages. We use them to explore the…
Given a real algebraic curve, embedded in projective space, we study the computational problem of deciding whether there exists a hyperplane meeting the curve in real points only. More generally, given any divisor on such a curve, we may…
In algebraic geometry, it is important to provide effective parametrizations for families of curves, both in theory and in practice. In this paper, we present such an effective parametrization for the moduli of genus-$5$ curves that are…
We investigate the structure of branching asymptotics appearing in solutions to elliptic edge problems. The exponents in powers of the half-axis variable, logarithmic terms, and coefficients depend on the variables on the edge and may be…
A procedure for interpolating between specified points of a curve or surface is described. The method guarantees slope continuity at all junctions. A surface panel divided into p x q contiguous patches is completely specified by the…
Given a smooth cubic hypersurface $X$ over a finite field of characteristic greater than 3 and two generic points on $X$, we use a function field analogue of the Hardy-Littlewood circle method to obtain an asymptotic formula for the number…
We develop an essentially algebraic method to study biharmonic curves into an implicit surface. Although our method is rather general, it is especially suitable to study curves into surfaces defined by a polynomial equation: in particular,…
In characteristic $p>0$ and for $q$ a power of $p$, we compute the number of nonplanar rational curves of arbitrary degrees on a smooth Hermitian surface of degree $q+1$ under the assumption that the curves have a parametrization given by…
We answer some enumerative questions about irreducible rational curves on Hirzebruch surfaces, by combining an idea of Kontsevich with the study of the geometry of certain natural parameter spaces. Our formulas generalize Kontsevich's…
We enumerate the singular algebraic curves in a complete linear system on a smooth projective surface. The system must be suitably ample in a rather precise sense. The curves may have up to eight nodes, or a triple point of a given type and…
We represent vector bundles over a regular algebraic curve as pairs of lattices over the maximal orders of its function field and we give polynomial time algorithms for several tasks: computing determinants of vector bundles, kernels and…
We give a detailed account of the classical Van Kampen method for computing presentations of fundamental groups of complements of complex algebraic curves, and of a variant of this method, working with arbitrary projections (even with…
