代数等距曲线、曲面的有理性质

A simple method is developed to identify the rationality of offsets to algebraic curves and surfaces which are given either implicitly or parametrically and to parametrize the offsets if they are rational. In particular, we show that offsets to ellipses and hyperbolas are of nonzero genus except for the circles, and somewhat surprisingly, that offsets to paraboioids and hyperboioids with one sheet can all be rationally parametrtised.
