Abstract

A simple algorithm for finding the implicit equation of a parametric plane curve given by its parametric equations is presented. The algorithm is based on an efficient computation of the Bézout resultant and Lagrange interpolation. One of main features of our approach is the fact that it considerably reduces the problem of computing intermediate expressions.
