ABSTRACT
ALTRAN is a complete system for writing programs for the formal manipulation of rational functions in several variables with integer coefficients. This paper gives a brief description of the language, run-time data structures, and implementation.

Altran is a complete system for symbolic computation with rational functions in several variables with integer coefficients. It has been designed and implemented to handle large problems with ease and efficiency. Considerable effort has been spent to ...
Rational Pythagorean-hodograph space curves
A method for constructing rational Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) curves in R^3 is proposed, based on prescribing a field of rational unit tangent vectors. This tangent field, together with its first derivative, defines the orientation of the curve ...
