چکیده
Article history: Received 13 June 2008 Received in revised form 29 May 2009 Accepted 2 June 2009 Available online 6 June 2009 Extending a geometric construction due to Sederberg and to Bajaj, Holt, and Netravali, an algorithm is presented for parameterizing a nonsingular cubic surface by polynomials of degree three. The fact that such a parametrization exists is classical. The present algorithm is, by its purely geometric nature, a very natural one. Moreover, it contains a practical way of finding all lines in an implicitly given cubic surface. Two explicit examples are presented, namely the classical Clebsch diagonal surface and the cubic Fermat surface. 2009 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Local parametrization of cubic surfaces
Algebraic surfaces – which are frequently used in geometric modeling – are represented either in implicit or parametric form. Several techniques for parameterizing a rational algebraic surface as a whole exist. However, in many applications, it suffices to parameterize a small portion of the surface. This motivates the analysis of local parametrizations, i.e., parametrizations of a small neighb...
متن کاملGeometric Information and Rational Parametrization of Nonsingular Cubic Blending Surfaces
The techniques for parametrizing nonsingular cubic surfaces have shown to be of great interest in recent years. This paper is devoted to the rational parametrization of nonsingular cubic blending surfaces. We claim that these nonsingular cubic blending surfaces can be parametrized using the symbolic computation due to their excellent geometric properties. Especially for the specific forms of th...
متن کاملElliptic fibrations on cubic surfaces
We classify elliptic fibrations birational to a nonsingular, minimal cubic surface over a field of characteristic zero. Our proof is adapted to provide computational techniques for the analysis of such fibrations, and we describe an implementation of this analysis in computer algebra.
متن کاملJ ul 2 00 6 Level structures on the Weierstrass family of cubics
Let W → A be the universal Weierstrass family of cubic curves over C. For each N ≥ 2, we construct surfaces parameterizing the three standard kinds of level N structures on the smooth fibers of W . We then complete these surfaces to finite covers of A. Since W → A is the versal deformation space of a cusp singularity, these surfaces convey information about the level structure on any family of ...
متن کاملA W (E6)-equivariant projective embedding of the moduli space of cubic surfaces
An explicit projective embedding of the moduli space of marked cubic surfaces is given. This embedding is equivariant under the Weyl group of type E6. The image is defined by a system of linear and cubic equations. To express the embedding in a most symmetric way, the target would be 79-dimensional, however the image lies in a 9-dimensional linear subspace. 1 The moduli space of cubic surfaces ...
