The limit point and the T-function [PDF]
Journal of Symbolic Computation, 2019 Let ${\cal P}(t)\in {\Bbb K}(t)^{n}$ be a rational parametrization of an algebraic space curve $\cal C$. In this paper, we introduce the notion of limit point, $P_L$, of the given parametrization $\mathcal{P}(t)$, and some remarkable properties of $P_L$ are obtained. In addition, we generalize the results in \cite{MyB-2017} concerning the T--function, $
