Resultants and moving surfaces (Q5938547)

A relationship between the moving plane and the moving quadric coefficient matrices for both the tensor product and the triangular case has been conjectured in \textit{D. Cox, R. Goldman} and \textit{M. Zhang} [J. Symb. Comput. 29, No. 3, 419-440 (2000; Zbl 0959.68124)]. The author presents here a general relationship between the moving plane and the moving surfaces of degree \(d\) coefficient matrices. The special choice \(d=2\) provides a proof for both the conjectures mentioned above. The author also extends the validity of the method to the case of not properly parametrized surfaces without base points.
