this paper, the relation between difference algorithms and the representation of parametric curves is studied in detail. It is shown that stationary difference algorithms could generate a class of curves, the so-called D-curves, that are suitable in freeform curve and surface modelling and design. T
Bézier subdivision and degree elevation algorithms generate piecewise linear approximations of Bézier curves that converge to the original Bézier curve. Discrete derivatives of arbitrary order can be associated with these piecewise linear functions via divided differences. Here we establish the conv
The umbral calculus is used to generalize Bernstein polynomials and Bézier curves. This adds great geometric flexibility to these fundamental objects of computer aided geometric design while retaining their basic properties.
