It is proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space, which is ruled by cubics or quartics has degree at most 12. It is also proved that a smooth rational surface in projective four-space which is the image of Fn by a linear…
We present a method for computing all the symmetries of a rational ruled surface defined by a rational parametrization which works directly in parametric rational form, i.e. without computing or making use of the implicit equation of the…
We present an algorithm that covers any given rational ruled surface with two rational parametrizations. In addition, we present an algorithm that transforms any rational surface parametrization into a new rational surface parametrization…
In this paper we review the derivation of implicit equations for non-degenerate quadric patches in rational Bezier triangular form. These are the case of Steiner surfaces of degree two. We derive the bilinear forms for such quadrics in a…
We describe a method to show a plane quartic over a number field has no rational points. The method can be adapted to show that a curve does not have divisors of degree 1 or 2 and can be generalized to arbitrary smooth projective curves.…
The control polygon of a Bezier curve is well-defined and has geometric significance---there is a sequence of weights under which the limiting position of the curve is the control polygon. For a Bezier surface patch, there are many possible…
This paper proposes a simple technique of curve and surface construction with B-splines. Given a control polygon or a control mesh together with node ordinates corresponding to all control points, a rational curve or surface is obtained by…
A parameterized surface can be represented as a projection from a certain toric surface. This generalizes the classical homogeneous and bihomogeneous parameterizations. We extend to the toric case two methods for computing the implicit…
In many cases rational surfaces obtained by desingularization of birational dynamical systems are not relatively minimal. We propose a method to obtain coordinates of relatively minimal rational surfaces by using blowing down structure. We…
We present a method for computing projective isomorphisms between rational surfaces that are given in terms of their parametrizations. The main idea is to reduce the computation of such projective isomorphisms to five base cases by…
Let $X\subseteq \mathbb{P}^3$ be a smooth projective surface of degree $d\ge 4$ defined over a number field $K$, and let $N_{X^{\prime}}(B)$ be the number of rational points of $X$ of height at most $B$ that do not lie on lines contained in…
This paper focuses on geometric methods for generating rational motions used in the design of single-loop rational linkages, 1-degree-of-freedom mechanisms that can execute prescribed spatial tasks. Building on established rational motion…
We describe smooth rational projective algebraic surfaces X, over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2, having an even set of four disjoint (-2)-curves N_1,...,N_4, i.e. such that N_1+...+N_4 is divisible by 2 in…
Given a rational projective parametrization $\cP(\ttt,\sss,\vvv)$ of a rational projective surface $\cS$ we present an algorithm such that, with the exception of a finite set (maybe empty) $\cB$ of projective base points of $\cP$,…
We propose a novel approach to the problem of polynomial approximation of rational B\'ezier triangular patches with prescribed boundary control points. The method is very efficient thanks to using recursive properties of the bivariate dual…
The families of smooth rational surfaces in $\PP^4$ have been classified in degree $\le 10$. All known rational surfaces in $\PP^4$ can be represented as blow-ups of the plane $\PP^2$. The fine classification of these surfaces consists of…
In this paper we address the issue of designing developable surfaces with Bezier patches. We show that developable surfaces with a polynomial edge of regression are the set of developable surfaces which can be constructed with Aumann's…
Streamline-based quad meshing algorithms use smooth cross fields to partition surfaces into quadrilateral regions by tracing cross field separatrices. In practice, re-entrant corners and misalignment of singularities lead to small regions…
It is a classical result that there are $12$ (irreducible) rational cubic curves through $8$ generic points in $\mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^2$, but little is known about the non-generic cases. The space of $8$-point configurations is…
We present simple examples of rational maps of the complex projective plane with equal first and second dynamical degrees and no invariant foliation.
