Nonrectangular surface patches with curvature continuity ## A K Jones An n-sided region can be decomposed into n rectangles, all meeting at a common vertex. For odd n, derivative data can be defined for each rectangular patch at the common vertex that allows continuity of tangent planes and, opt

β¦ Synopsis
The most convenient numerical method for defining surfaces is by bipararnetric vectors. The paper describes the conditions for ensuring second order continuity. A second definition of continuity is given which provides a mathematical generalization to order n between two surface patches.

Necessary and sufficient conditions for geometric C 7 continuity (GC 7) that cover all the four combinations between rectangular and triangular B6zier surface patches are presented. Further, some more practical sufficient conditions are developed. The GC ~ conditions in several special cases might b
We present an unstructured triangular mesh generation algorithm that approximates a set of mutually nonintersecting simple trimmed polynomial parametric surface patches within a user specified geometric tolerance. The proposed method uses numerically robust interval geometric representations/computa
