33. Strictly speaking, the equivalent quadratic introduced by Thibos et al. [13] is a paraboloid described by W2. If a=b, the family of surfaces comprises circular paraboloids; if a and b have the same sign, it comprises elliptic paraboloids; and if a and b have opposite signs, it comprises hyperbolic paraboloids.
