PURPOSE:  Rational parametrization of rational plane curves

AUTHORS:  J. Boehm, j.boehm@mx.uni-saarland.de @*
          W. Decker, decker@mathematik.uni-kl.de> @*

OVERVIEW: 

A library for computing rational parametrizations of rational plane curves
defined over Q. @*
Suppose the curve is C = {f(x,y,z)=0} where f is homogeneous of degree
n and absolutely irreducible. (The conditions required will be checked
automatically.) @*
After a first step, realized by a projective automorphism in the procedure
adjointIdeal, C satisfies: @*
- C does not have singularities at infinity z=0. @*
- C does not contain the point (0:1:0) (that is, the dehomogenization of f
  with respect to the third variable z must be monic as a polynomial in the
  second variable y). @*
Considering C in the chart z<>0, the algorithm regards x as transcendental
and y as algebraic and computes an integral basis in C(x)[y] of the integral
closure of C[x] in C(x,y) using the  normalization algorithm from
@ref normal.lib: see @ref intbasis.lib. In a future edition of the library,
also van Hoeij's algorithm for computing the integral basis will be
available. @*
From the integral basis, the adjoint ideal is obtained by linear algebra.
Alternatively, the algorithm starts with a local analysis of the singular
locus of C. Then, for each  primary component of the singular locus which
does not correspond to ordinary multiple points or cusps, the integral 
basis algorithm is applied separately. The ordinary multiple points and
cusps, in turn, are adressed by a straightforward direct algorithm. The 
adjoint ideal is obtained by intersecting all ideals obtained locally. 
The local variant of the algorithm is used by default. @*
The linear system corresponding to the adjoint ideal maps the curve
birationally to a rational normal curve in P^(n-2). @*
Iterating the anticanonical map, the algorithm projects the rational normal
curve to PP1 for n odd resp. to a conic C2 in PP2 for n even. @*
In case n is even, the algorithm tests whether there is a rational point on
C2 and if so gives a parametrization of C2 which is defined over Q. Otherwise,
the parametrization given is defined over a quadratic field extension of Q. @*
By inverting the birational map of C to PP1 resp. to C2, a parametrization
of C is obtained (defined over Q or the quadratic field extension).

"USAGE: invertBirMap(phi, I); phi ideal, I ideal
ASSUME: The ideal phi in the basering R represents a birational map of the
        variety given by the ideal I in R to its image in projective space
        P = PP^(size(phi)-1).
NOTE:   The procedure might fail or give a wrong output if phi does
        not define a birational map.
RETURN: ring, the coordinate ring of P, with an ideal
        named J and an ideal named psi. 
@format The ideal J defines the image of phi.@* 
        The ideal psi gives the inverse of phi.@*
        Note that the entries of psi should be considered as representatives
        of classes in the quotient ring R/J.@*
@end format
THEORY: We compute the ideal I(G) in R**S of the graph G of phi.@*
        The ideal J is given by the intersection of I(G) with S.@*
        The map psi is given by a relation mod J of those relations

"USAGE:  rationalPointConic(p); p poly
ASSUME:  assumes that p is an irreducible quadratic polynomial in the first

RETURN:  The method finds a point on the given conic. There are two
         possibilities:
         1) There is a rational point on the curve.
         2) There is no rational point on the curve.
         In the second case, the method creates a modification of the current
         basering which is a polynomial ring over some quadratic field
         extension Q(a) of Q. Apart from the replacement of Q by Q(a), the
         new polynomial ring, R say, is the same as the original basering.
         (In the first case, R is identical with the basering.)
         In both cases, the method will then define a (1x3) matrix named
         'point' which lives in R and which contains the coordinates of the
         desired point on q.

        Assumes that there is a (1x3) matrix named 'point' in r with
        entries from the ground field of r.
RETURN:  returns 1 iff the point named 'point', residing in r, lies on
        the conic given by p; 0 otherwise
NOTE:    This method temporarily changes the basering to r. Afterwards,
        the basering will be the same as before.
