Abstract. Resultants are the standard tool used to compute the implicit equation of a rational curve or surface. Here we present a new way to compute the implicit equation of a rational curve by...
Transformations and Transitions from the Sylvester to the Bezout Resultant (1998)
Eng-Wee Chionh, Ming Zhang, Ronald N. Goldman
A simple matrix transformation linking the resultant matrices of Sylvester and Bezout is derived. This transformation matrix is then applied to generate an explicit formula for each entry of the...
