The authors consider the problem of computing parameterizations of algebraic plane curves which might come from a perturbed rational algebraic curve. In general a slight perturbation of a rational algebraic curve need not to be rational any more. Therefore, the notion of \(\epsilon\)-rationality for a certain class of affine algebraic curves is introduced, where \(\epsilon>0\) is a given tolerance. In what follows, an algorithm is described which computes a parameterization of a rational curve which approximates a given \(\epsilon\)-rational curve. Moreover, it is shown that the output and input curves of the algorithm are of the same degree and have the same points at infinity and hence the same real asymptotes. Afterwards, some illustrative examples point out the suitability of the algorithm. At the end the authors discuss an approach for measuring and estimating the distance between the input and output curves of the presented algorithm.
