Analysis and construction of rational curve parametrizations with non-ordinary singularities

Abstract

In this paper, we provide a method that allows to construct parametric curves having (or not) non-ordinary singularities and having (or not) neighboring points. This method is based on a characterization of the non-ordinary singularities and neighboring points by means of linear equations involving the given parametrization. As a consequence, we obtain an algorithm that constructs a parametrization which contains a given point, P, as a singularity as well as some additional information as for instance, the order of P, parameters corresponding to P, multiplicity of each parameter and the singularities in the first neighborhood of the singularity P.
