β¦ Synopsis
In this paper, we derive the bounds on the magnitude of lth (l = 2, 3) order derivatives of rational BΓ©zier curves, estimate the error, in the L β norm sense, for the hybrid polynomial approximation of the lth (l = 1, 2, 3) order derivatives of rational BΓ©zier curves. We then prove that when the hybrid polynomial approximation converges to a given rational BΓ©zier curve, the lth (l = 1, 2, 3) derivatives of the hybrid polynomial approximation curve also uniformly converge to the corresponding derivatives of the rational curve. These results are useful for designing simpler algorithms for computing tangent vector, curvature vector and torsion vector of rational BΓ©zier curves.

This paper investigates the convergence condition for the polynomial approximation of rational functions and rational curves. The main result, based on a hybrid expression of rational functions (or curves), is that two-point Hermite interpolation converges if all eigenvalue moduli of a certain r\_r
