A class of algebraic-trigonometric blended splines

This paper presents a new kind of algebraic-trigonometric blended spline curve, called xyB curves, generated over the space {1,t,sint,cost,sin²t,sin³t,cos³t}. The new curves not only inherit most properties of usual cubic B-spline curves in polynomial space, but also enjoy some other advantageous properties for modeling. For given control points, the shape of the new curves can be adjusted by using the parameters x and y. When the control points and the parameters are chosen appropriately, the new curves can represent some conics and transcendental curves. In addition, we present methods of constructing an interpolation xyB-spline curve and an xyB-spline curve which is tangent to the given control polygon. The generation of tensor product surfaces by these new spline curves is straightforward. Many properties of the curves can be easily extended to the surfaces. The new surfaces can exactly represent the rotation surfaces as well as the surfaces with elliptical or circular sections.

带形状参数的代数三角样条曲线曲面的构造（英文）

The construction of trigonometric B-spline curves with shape parameters has become the hotspot in computer aided geometric design.However,the shape parameters of the curves and surfaces are all global parameters and only meet with C~2 continuity in some previous papers.In order to provide more flexible approaches for designers,the algebraic and trigonometric spline(AT-spline) curves and surfaces are constructed as a generalization of the traditional cubic uniform B-spline curves and surfaces.AT-spline curves and surfaces not only inherit the properties of trigonometric B-spline curves,but also exhibit better performance when adjusting its local shapes through two shape parameters.Particularly,the AT-spline rotational surfaces with two local shape parameters are presented.When the shape parameters take special value,it can accurately represent the conic curve and surface.     

一种四次有理插值样条及其逼近性质

1引言有理样条函数是多项式样条函数的一种自然推广,但由于有理样条空间的复杂性,所以有关它的研究成果不象多项式样条那样完美,许多问题还值得进一步的研究．近几十年来,有理插值样条,特别是有理三次有理插值样条,由于它们在曲线曲面设计中的应用,已有许多学者进行了深入研究,取得了一系列的成果(见[1]-[7])．但四次有理插值样条由于其构造所花费的计算量太大以及在使用上很不方便而让人们忽视了其重要的应用价值,因此很少有人研究他们．实际上,在某些情况下四次有理插值样条有其独特的应用效果,如文[8]建立的一种具有局部插值性质的分母为二次的四次有理样条,即一个剖分     

Rational cubic/quartic Said-Ball conics

In CAGD, the Said-Ball representation for a polynomial curve has two advantages over the Bézier representation, since the degrees of Said-Ball basis are distributed in a step type. One advantage is that the recursive algorithm of Said-Ball curve for evaluating a polynomial curve runs twice as fast as the de Casteljau algorithm of Bézier curve. Another is that the operations of degree elevation and reduction for a polynomial curve in Said-Ball form are simpler and faster than in Bézier form. However, Said-Ball curve can not exactly represent conics which are usually used in aircraft and machine element design. To further extend the utilization of Said-Ball curve, this paper deduces the representation theory of rational cubic and quartic Said-Ball conics, according to the necessary and sufficient conditions for conic representation in rational low degree Bézier form and the transformation formula from Bernstein basis to Said-Ball basis. The results include the judging method for whether a rational quartic Said-Ball curve is a conic section and design method for presenting a given conic section in rational quartic Said-Ball form. Many experimental curves are given for confirming that our approaches are correct and effective.     

Shape analysis of cubic trigonometric Bézier curves with a shape parameter

For the cubic trigonometric polynomial curves with a shape parameter (TB curves, for short), the effects of the shape parameter on the TB curve are made clear, the shape features of the TB curve are analyzed. The necessary and sufficient conditions are derived for these curves having single or double inflection points, a loop or a cusp, or be locally or globally convex. The results are summarized in a shape diagram of TB curves, which is useful when using TB curves for curve and surface modeling. Furthermore the influences of shape parameter on the shape diagram and the ability for adjusting the shape of the curve are shown by graph examples, respectively.     

A class of spline curves with four local shape parameters

A class of spline curves with four local shape parameters, which includes the quartic spline curves with three local shape parameters given in Han [Xuli Han. A class of general quartic spline curves with shape parameters. Comput. Aided Geom. Design, 28: 151–163 (2011)], is proposed. Without solving a linear system, the spline curves can be used to interpolate sets of points with C² continuity partly or entirely. The shape parameters have a predictable adjusting role on the spline curves.     

C2 Continuous Quartic Hermite Spline Curves with Shape Parameters

In order to relieve the deficiency of the usual cubic Hermite spline curves, the quartic Hermite spline curves with shape parameters is further studied in this work. The interpolation error and estimator of the quartic Hermite spline curves are given. And the characteristics of the quartic Hermite spline curves are discussed. The quartic Hermite spline curves not only have the same interpolation and conti-nuity properties of the usual cubic Hermite spline curves, but also can achieve local or global shape adjustment and C2 continuity by the shape parameters when the interpolation conditions are fixed.

The cubic trigonometric Bézier curve with two shape parameters

A cubic trigonometric Bézier curve analogous to the cubic Bézier curve, with two shape parameters, is presented in this work. The shape of the curve can be adjusted by altering the values of shape parameters while the control polygon is kept unchanged. With the shape parameters, the cubic trigonometric Bézier curves can be made close to the cubic Bézier curves or closer to the given control polygon than the cubic Bézier curves. The ellipses can be represented exactly using cubic trigonometric Bézier curves.

Families of univariate and bivariate subdivision schemes originated from quartic B-spline

Families of parameter dependent univariate and bivariate subdivision schemes are presented in this paper. These families are new variants of the Lane-Riesenfeld algorithm. So the subdivision algorithms consist of both refining and smoothing steps. In refining step, we use the quartic B-spline based subdivision schemes. In smoothing step, we average the adjacent points. The bivariate schemes are the non-tensor product version of our univariate schemes. Moreover, for odd and even number of smoothing steps, we get the primal and dual schemes respectively. Higher regularity of the schemes can be achieved by increasing the number of smoothing steps. These schemes can be nicely generalized to contain local shape parameters that allow the user to adjust locally the shape of the limit curve/surface.     

Recursive polynomial curve schemes and computer-aided geometric design

A class of polynomial curve schemes is introduced that may have widespread application to CAGD (computer-aided geometric design), and which contains many well-known curve schemes, including Bézier curves, Lagrange polynomials, B-spline curve (segments), and Catmull-Rom spline (segments). The curves in this class can be characterized by a simple recursion formula. They are also shown to have many properties desirable for CAGD; in particular they are affine invariant, have the convex hull property, and possess a recursive evaluation algorithm. Further, these curves have shape parameters which may be used as a design tool for introducing such geometric effects as tautness, bias, or interpolation. The link between probability theory and this class of curves is also discussed.Communicated by Klaus Höllig.     

A geometric approach to Euler’s addition formula A direct formulation of the addition law for elliptic curves given in?terms of Weierstra? quartics

Plane quartic curves given by equations of the form y ²=P(x) with polynomials P of degree 4 represent singular models of elliptic curves which are directly related to elliptic integrals in the form studied by Euler and for which he developed his famous addition formulas. For cubic curves, the well-known secant and tangent construction establishes an immediate connection of addition formulas for the corresponding elliptic integrals with the structure of an algebraic group. The situation for quartic curves is considerably more complicated due to the presence of the singularity. We present a geometric construction, similar in spirit to the secant method for cubic curves, which defines an addition law on a quartic elliptic curve given by rational functions. Furthermore, we show how this addition on the curve itself corresponds to the addition in the (generalized) Jacobian variety of the curve, and we show how any addition formula for elliptic integrals of the form ò(1/?{P(x)}) dx\int (1/\sqrt{P(x)})\,\mathrm{d}x with a quartic polynomial P can be derived directly from this addition law.

Curves and Surfaces Construction Based on New Basis with Exponential Functions

By incorporating two exponential functions into the cubic Bernstein basis functions, a new class of λμ-Bernstein basis functions is constructed. Based on these λμ-Bernstein basis functions, a kind of λμ-Bézier-like curve with two shape parameters, which include the cubic Bernstein-Bézier curve, is proposed. The C ¹ and C ² continuous conditions for joining two λμ-Bézier-like curves are given. By using tensor product method, a class of rectangular Bézier-like patches with four shape parameters is shown. The G ¹ and G ² continuous conditions for joining two rectangular Bézier-like patches are derived. By incorporating three exponential functions into the cubic Bernstein basis functions over triangular domain, a new class of λμη-Bernstein basis functions over triangular domain is also constructed. Based on the λμη-Bernstein basis functions, a kind of triangular λμη-Bézier-like patch with three shape parameters, which include the triangular Bernstein-Bézier cubic patch, is presented. The conditions for G ¹ continuous smooth joining two triangular λμη-Bézier-like patches are discussed. The shape parameters serve as tension parameters and have a predictable adjusting role on the curves and patches.
