Computing the singularities of rational surfaces

Abstract: Given a rational projective parametrization

c P (t t, s s s, v v v)

of a rational projective surface

c S

we present an algorithm such that, with the exception of a finite set (maybe empty)

c B

of projective base points of

c P

, decomposes the projective parameter plane as

p r o j d o s s e t m i n u s c B = c u p_{k = 1}^{e l l} c S m_{k}

such that if

(t t_{0} : s s s_{0} : v v v_{0}) i n c S m_{k}

then

c P (t t_{0}, s s s_{0}, v v v_{0})

is a point of

c S

of multiplicity

k

.
