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.

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
This paper presents a method for constructing an auxiliary planar domain of triangulation for tessellating trimmed parametric surface patches. By minimizing a mapping error function, an approximate locally isometric mapping between a given trimmed parametric surface patch and its triangulation domai
