Implicitization of rational parametric equations (Q1209624)

The paper adresses the implicitization problem for rational parametric equations and presents algorithms based on the Gröbner basis method. The authors give methods: to compute a basis of the implicit ideal for a set of rational parametric equations; to reparametrize a set of parametric equations so that the parameters of the new parametric equations are independent; to compute the inversion maps and, in the case of algebraic curves, to find a set of proper parametric equations for a set of improper parametric equations.
