Abstract

This paper provides an elementary and constructive treatment to implicitizing tensor product rational surfaces whose base point locus is a local complete intersection (lci) by the method of moving planes and moving quadrics. The approach is much more elementary than that by Busé and Chen (2021) which relies on very advanced algebraic tools such as Rees algebras and symmetric algebras, etc. An effective algorithm is also presented to compute moving planes and moving quadrics that comprise a compact determinantal representation of the implicit equation of a rational surface.
