t is well known that an irreducible algebraic curve is rational (i.e. parametric) if and only if its genus is zero. In this paper, given a tolerance ϵ>0 and an ϵ-irreducible algebraic affine plane curve C of proper degree d, we introduce the notion of ϵ-rationality, and we provide an algorithm to parametrize approximately affine ϵ-rational plane curves by means of linear systems of (d−2)-degree curves. The algorithm outputs a rational parametrization of a rational curve of degree d which has the same points at infinity as C. Moreover, although we do not provide a theoretical analysis, our empirical analysis shows that and C are close in practice.
