Degree versus Dimension for Rational Parametric Curves

https://doi.org/10.3888/tmj.22-3 Given a rationally parameterized curve in or , where the and are polynomials, we find the dimension of the smallest linear subset of containing the curve. If all the and are of degree or less, then it is known abstractly that this dimension is or less and rational normal curves play a key role … Continue reading Degree versus Dimension for Rational Parametric Curves
