5.7.5 Implicit algebraic curve/implicit algebraic surface intersection (Case E11)

Implicit algebraic curve and implicit algebraic surface intersection problem is defined as:
    (5.75)

The formulation comprises three nonlinear equations in three unknowns . Possible solution approaches include elimination methods, Newton's method, minimization methods with objective function , approximating curve with a linear spline reducing to Case E3 and refinement using minimization, and the IPP algorithm.
