Effective Methods to Compute the Topology of Real Algebraic Surfaces with Isolated Singularities
نویسنده
چکیده
Given a real algebraic surface S in RP3, we propose a constructive procedure to determine the topology of S and to compute non-trivial topological invariants for the pair (RP3, S) under the hypothesis that the real singularities of S are isolated. In particular, starting from an implicit equation of the surface, we compute the number of connected components of S, their Euler characteristics and the weighted 2-adjacency graph of the surface.

Ambient Isotopic Meshing for Implicit Algebraic Surfaces with Singularities
A complete method is proposed to compute a certified, or ambient isotopic, meshing for an implicit algebraic surface with singularities. By certified, we mean a meshing with correct topology and any given geometric precision. We propose a symbolic-numeric method to compute a certified meshing for the surface inside a box containing singularities and use a modified Plantinga-Vegter marching cube...
متن کاملRings of Singularities
This paper is a slightly revised version of an introduction into singularity theory corresponding to a series of lectures given at the ``Advanced School and Conference on homological and geometrical methods in representation theory'' at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP), Miramare - Trieste, Italy, 11-29 January 2010. We show how to associate to a triple of posit...
متن کاملRegularity Criteria for the Topology of Algebraic Curves and Surfaces
In this paper, we consider the problem of analysing the shape of an object defined by polynomial equations in a domain. We describe regularity criteria which allow us to determine the topology of the implicit object in a box from information on the boundary of this box. Such criteria are given for planar and space algebraic curves and for algebraic surfaces. These tests are used in subdivision ...
متن کاملTopology of Hypersurface Singularities
Kähler’s paper Über die Verzweigung einer algebraischen Funktion zweier Veränderlichen in der Umgebung einer singulären Stelle” offered a more perceptual view of the link of a complex plane curve singularity than that provided shortly before by Brauner. Kähler’s innovation of using a “square sphere” became standard in the toolkit of later researchers on singularities. We describe his contributi...
متن کاملComputation of the Topology Types of the Level Curves of Real Algebraic Surfaces
In this paper, we address the problem of determining the z-values where the topology type of the level curves of an algebraic surface may change. In the case when the surface is bounded and non-singular, this question is solved by Morse Theory. However, here we consider the problem for the more general case of algebraic surfaces without further restrictions, i.e. not necessarily bounded or smoo...
