Abstract

Based on the fact that projective monomial curves in the plane are complete intersections, we give an effective inductive method for creating infinitely many monomial curves in the projective nn-space that are set theoretic complete intersections. We illustrate our main result by giving different infinite families of examples. Our proof is constructive and provides one binomial and (n2)(n-2) polynomial explicit equations for the hypersurfaces cutting out the curve in question.
