Abstract

This paper discusses a direct application of the µ-basis in reparametrizing a rational ruled surface. Using the µ-basis, we construct a new ruled surface, which is a dual of the original surface. A reparametrization can then be obtained from the µ-basis of the dual ruled surface. The reparametrized surface does not contain any nongeneric base point and has a pair of directrices with the lowest possible degree.
