Abstract

The method of moving lines and moving curves is a technique for computing the implicit equation of a parametric curve. The efficiency of this method has been significantly enhanced by the introduction of the &mgr;-basis for planar rational curves. This paper makes some initial contributions in defining the &mgr;-basis of a rational surface, and it proves some important properties of the proposed basis. The concepts are based on syzygy modules.
