Abstract

We present a new and efficient method to detect whether or not two given rational plane curves are similar. If both curves are the same, the method finds the symmetries of the curve. The method relies on the introduction of a complex differential invariant that has a nice behavior with respect to Möbius transformations, which are the mappings lying behind the similarities in the parameter space. From a computational point of view, our algorithm only requires bivariate gcds and factoring. The algorithm is implemented in Maple™ [Maplesoft, a division of Waterloo Maple Inc. Waterloo, Ontario (2021)]. An extensive study of its practical performance is also provided.
