Bisector construction plays an important role in many geometric computations. This article explains how to compute rational bisectors of point-surface and sphere-surface pairs.

This paper studies algebraic and geometric properties of curve-curve, curve-surface, and surface-surface bisectors. The computation is in general difficult since the bisector is determined by solving a system of nonlinear equations. Geometric considerations will help us to determine several distinguished curve and surface pairs which possess elementary computable bisectors. Emphasis is on low-degree rational curves and surfaces, since they are of particular interest in surface modeling.
