Parametrizing the curve of intersection between a elliptic cylinder and a sphere
$begingroup$
How can I form the parameterization of a curve of intersection given a sphere $x^2+y^2+z^2 =1$ and an elliptic cylinder $2x^2 + z^2 = 1$ ?

Thanks to @WillJagy$${x={cos tover sqrt 2}\y={cos tover sqrt 2}quad ,quad tin Bbb R\z=sin t}$$and $${x={cos tover sqrt 2}\y=-{cos tover sqrt 2}quad ,quad tin Bbb R\z=sin t}$$

My original answer suggested just one of those branches while there are two. The images below suggest why:

I think it just determines the direction of recursion on the intersection but I agree with you. A parametrization is not unique even as with the unit circle we have $$x=sin u\y=cos u$$or$$x=sin u\y=-cos u$$

$( frac{- cos t}{sqrt 2} , ; frac{ cos t}{sqrt 2} , ; sin t )$ also solves, there are just two intersection points, $t = pm pi/2$ They are two ellipses, they cross twice

Even with the answer I am not sure how you are supposed to calculate this problem.
