Let S be a parametrized surface in P 3 given as the image of φ : P 1 × P 1 → P 3 . This paper will show that the use of syzygies in the form of a combination of moving planes and moving quadrics provides a valid method for finding the implicit equation of S when certain base points are present. This work extends the algorithm provided by Cox [5] for when φ has no base points, and it is analogous to some of the results of Busé, Cox, and D'Andrea [2] for the case when φ : P 2 → P 3 has base points.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
