The improper index for such a lattice support is defined to be the gcd of the normalized volumes of all the simplex sub-supports.

文摘In this paper, a class of lattice supports in the lattice space Zm is found to be inherently improper because any rational parametrization from Cm to Cm defined on such a support is improper. The improper index for such a lattice support is defined to be the gcd of the normalized volumes of all the simplex sub-supports. The structure of an improper support S is analyzed and shrinking transformations are constructed to transform S to a proper one. For a generic rational parametrization RP defined on an improper support S, we prove that its improper index is the improper index of S and give a proper reparametrization algorithm for RP. Finally, properties for rational parametrizations defined on an improper support and with numerical coefficients are also considered.
