An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of B-spline curves is presented. The method consists of the following steps: (a) decompose the B-spline curve into Btzier pieces on the fly, (b) degree reduce each Btzier piece, and (c) remove the unnecessary knots. A complete algorithm and precise error

In this paper, we show the degree reduction of BΓ©zier curves in a matrix representation. Most degree reduction algorithms have been described as a set of recursive equations which are based on the inverse problem of degree elevation. However, degree elevation can be easily expressed in terms of matr
A new and automatic degree selection technique based on the approximate modal energy has been derived and developed for matrix condensations in this paper. The method is used to condense the number of degrees of the matrix when dealing with eigenvalue problems. By defining a new basis in the vicinit
