In this paper, we show the degree reduction of Bézier curves in a matrix representation. Most degree reduction algorithms have been described as a set of recursive equations which are based on the inverse problem of degree elevation. However, degree elevation can be easily expressed in terms of matr

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
This article presents a flexible curve and surface by using an arbitrary choice of polynomial as the basis for blending functions. The curve and surface is a generalization of most well known curves and surfaces. The conditions for various continuities of the curve segments and surface patches at th
We elucidate the connection between Bézier curves in polar coordinates, also called p-Bézier or focal Bézier curves, and certain families of spirals and sectrix curves. p-Bézier curves are the analogue in polar coordinates of nonparametric Bézier curves in Cartesian coordinates. Such curves form a s
A new formulation for the representation and designing of curves and surfaces is presented. It is a novel generalization of Bézier curves and surfaces. Firstly, a class of polynomial basis functions with n adjustable shape parameters is present. It is a natural extension to classical Bernstein basis
