Implicitization experiments on curves and surfaces

These are some experimental results of the algorithms that compute the Newton polytope of the Resultant. For more information see ^[1].

For the case of curves, there are two equations on one variable t. For the case of surfaces, there are three equations on two variables t,s. Additionally, a,b,c are constants.

Each parametric equation can be transformed to a polynomial. The supports of the polynomials after the Cayley trick are stored in the files in the "supports" column. The file format is as follows: the first line contain the number of points and their dimension and in the following lines each column contains the coordinates of a point.

Implicitization using predicted support has been implemented in Maple. Code and some examples. For more information see ^[2].
