Implicitization experiments on curves and surfaces

Implicitization is the change of parametric representation to an implicit, or algebraic, representation. The former describes the geometric object as the set of values of parametric expressions over a set of values of the parameters. The latter describes the same object as the zero-set of a single polynomial. Example: the circle below is given parametrically by x=cos(t), y=sin(t); its implicit equation is x^2+y^2=1.

For the case of curves, there are two equations in one parameter t. For the case of surfaces, there are 3 expressions in two parameters t,s. Additionally, in certain parameterizations, we consider families of curves/surfaces with respect to free constants a,b,c.

Each parametric expression can be transformed to a polynomial. We consider the system of polynomials in the parameters and define its sparse resultant. We compute the resultant's Newton polytope, which gives information on the implicit equation's support. Then, we compute the implicit equation by interpolation, which amounts to linear algebra.


These are some experimental results of the algorithms that compute the Newton polytope of the Sparse Resultant. For more information see [1]. 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. In our experiments we use two support prediction methods: one applies only for curves, and another is general. We present our implementation of the "curves only" method and some examples. Here we apply numeric as well as exact methods for linear solving in order to obtain coefficients of the implicit equation.

Another Maple implementation contains two implicitization methods for general support prediction that use exact solving. Examples of running these methods on the curves and surfaces.

For more information see [2].
