Rational Algebraic Curves: A Computer Algebra Approach

by Franz Winkler, J. Rafael Sendra, Sonia Pérez-Díaz

The central problem considered in this book is the determination of rational parametrizability of an algebraic curve, and, in the positive case, the computation of a good rational parametrization. This amounts to determining the genus of a curve, i.e. its complete singularity structure, computing regular points of the curve in small coordinate fields, and constructing linear systems of curves with prescribed intersection multiplicities.
