Numerical computation of the genus of an irreducible curve within an algebraic set

چکیده
The common zero locus of a set of multivariate polynomials (with complex coefficients) determines an algebraic set. Any algebraic set can be decomposed into a union of irreducible components. Given a one dimensional irreducible component, i.e. a curve, it is useful to understand its invariants. The most important invariants of a curve are the degree, the arithmetic genus and the geometric genus (where the geometric genus denotes the genus of a desingularization of the projective closure of the curve). This article presents a numerical algorithm to compute the geometric genus of any one-dimensional irreducible component of an algebraic set.

Membership tests for images of algebraic sets by linear projections
Given a witness set for an irreducible variety V and a linear map π, we describe membership tests for both the constructible algebraic set π(V ) and the algebraic set π(V ). We also provide applications and examples of these new tests including computing the codimension one components of π(V ) \ π(V ). Additionally, we also describe computing the geometric genus of a curve section of an irreduc...
متن کاملAnalytical and Verified Numerical Results Concerning Interval Continuous-time Algebraic Riccati Equations
This paper focuses on studying the interval continuous-time algebraic Riccati equation A∗X + XA + Q − XGX = 0, both from the theoretical aspects and the computational ones. In theoretical parts, we show that Shary’s results for interval linear systems can only be partially generalized to this interval Riccati matrix equation. We then derive an efficient technique for enclosing the united stable...
متن کاملNumerically intersecting algebraic varieties via witness sets
The fundamental construct of numerical algebraic geometry is the representation of an irreducible algebraic set, A, by a witness set, which consists of a polynomial system, F , for which A is an irreducible component of V(F ), a generic linear space L of complementary dimension to A, and a numerical approximation to the set of witness points, L ∩A. Given F , methods exist for computing a numeri...
متن کاملOptimal and maximal singular curves
Using an Euclidean approach, we prove a new upper bound for the number of closed points of degree 2 on a smooth absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curve defined over the finite field Fq. This bound enables us to provide explicit conditions on q, g and π for the nonexistence of absolutely irreducible projective algebraic curves defined over Fq of geometric genus g, arithmetic genus π an...
متن کاملRecovering an Algebraic Curve Using its Projections From Different Points Applications to Static and Dynamic Computational Vision
We study how an irreducible closed algebraic curve X embedded in CP , which degree is d and genus g, can be recovered using its projections from points onto embedded projective planes. The different embeddings are unknown. The only input is the defining equation of each projected curve. We show how both the embeddings and the curve in CP can be recovered modulo some actions of the group of proj...
