However, the theoretical frame of μ-bases is still developing, especially of surfaces. We study the μ-basis of a rational surface V defined parametrically by P(t¯),t¯=(t1,t2) not being necessarily proper (or invertible). For applications using the μ-basis, an inversion formula for a given proper parametrization P(t¯) is obtained. In addition, the degree of the rational map ϕP associated with any P(t¯) is computed. If P(t¯) is improper, we give some partial results in finding a proper reparametrization of V. Finally, the implicitization formula is derived from P (not being necessarily proper). The discussions only need to compute the greatest common divisors and univariate resultants of polynomials constructed from the μ-basis. Examples are given to illustrate the computational processes of the presented results. %K μ-basis %K Rational surfaces %K Inversion %K Improper %K Reparametrization %K Implicitization %K Resultant %K Matemáticas %K Mathematics %~ Biblioteca Universidad de Alcala
