Abstract
In this paper, some methods are developed for obtaining explicitly a basis for the integral closure of a class of coordinate rings of algebraic space curves.The investigation of this problem was motivated by a need for examples of integrally closed rings with specified subrings with a view toward examining questions of unique factorization in them. The principal result, giving the elements to be adjoined to a ring of the form k[x1, …,xn] to obtain its integral closure, is limited to the rather special case of the coordinate ring of a space curve all of whose singularities are normal. But in numerous examples where the curve has nonnormal singularities, the same method, which is essentially a modification of the method of locally quadratic transformations, also gives the integral closure.
