Abstract

In the first part of this paper we present a short survey on the problem of the representation of rational normal curves as set-theoretic complete intersections. In the second part we use a method, introduced by Robbiano and Valla, to prove that the rational normal quartic is set-theoretically complete intersection of quadrics: it is an original proof of a classical result of Perron, and Gallarati-Rollero.
