Abstract

The intersection of algebraic curves in three and higher dimensional spaces is considered. An algebrogeometric technique is developed for obtaining an upper bound on the number of intersection points of two irreducible algebraic curves. The asymptotic bounds are shown to be a function of only the degrees of the two intersecting curves. Some specific examples involving curves in 3-space are analyzed.
