It is well known that the canonical system of curves on an algebraic surface is only relatively invariant under birational transformations of the surface. That is, if we have a birational transformation T between two surfaces F and F′, and if K and K′ denote curves of the unreduced canonical systems on F and F′, then

where E and E′ denote the sets of curves, on F and F′ respectively which are transformed into the neighbourhoods of simple points on the other surface.
