Abstract

In this paper, first, we provide a resultant-based implicitization method for revolution surfaces, generated by non necessarily rational curves. Secondly, we analyze the offsetting problem for revolution surfaces, proving that the offsetting and the revolution constructions are commutative. Finally, as a consequence of this, the (total and partial) degree formulas for the generic offset to an irreducible plane curve, given in our previous papers, are extended to the case of offsets to surfaces of revolution.
