In algebraic geometry, a Togliatti surface is a nodal surface of degree five with 31 nodes. The first examples were constructed by . proved that 31 is the maximum possible number of nodes for a surface of this degree, showing this example to be optimal.

NOTOC In algebraic geometry, a Barth surface is one of the complex nodal surfaces in 3 dimensions with large numbers of double points found by . Two examples are the Barth sextic of degree 6 with 65 double points, and the Barth decic of degree 10 with 345 double points. For degree 6 surfaces in P3, showed that 65 is the maximum number of double points possible. The Barth sextic is a counterexample to an incorrect claim by Francesco Severi in 1946 that 52 is the maximum number of double points possible.
In algebraic geometry, an Endrass surface is a nodal surface of degree 8 with 168 real nodes, found by . , it remained the record-holder for the most number of real nodes for its degree; however, the best proven upper bound, 174, does not match the lower bound given by this surface.
In algebraic geometry, a nodal surface is a surface in (usually complex) projective space whose only singularities are nodes. A major problem about them is to find the maximum number of nodes of a nodal surface of given degree. The following table gives some known upper and lower bounds for the maximal number of nodes on a complex surface of given degree. In degree 7, 9, 11, and 13, the upper bound is given by , which is better than the one by .
