✦ Synopsis

We present an iteration method for the polynomial approximation of rational Bézier curves. Starting with an initial Bézier curve, we adjust its control points gradually by the scheme of weighted progressive iteration approximations. The L p -error calculated by the trapezoidal rule using sampled points is used to guide the iteration approximation. We reduce the L perror by a predefined factor at every iteration so as to obtain the best approximation with a minimum error. Numerical examples demonstrate the fast convergence of our method and indicate that results obtained using the L 1 -error criterion are better than those obtained using the L 2 -error and L ∞ -error criteria.

An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular

In this paper, a convenient and effective recurrence formula for the higher order derivatives of a rational degree \(n\) Bézier curve is derived. The \(\operatorname{sth}(s=1,2, \ldots)\)-order derivatives of this curve can be represented as a fraction whose numerator is a vector expression of degre

For high order interpolations at both end points of two rational Bézier curves, we introduce the concept of C (v,u) -continuity and give a matrix expression of a necessary and sufficient condition for satisfying it. Then we propose three new algorithms, in a unified approach, for the degree reductio
