Necessary and sufficient conditions for rational quartic representation of conic sections

Conic section is one of the geometric elements most commonly used for shape expression and mechanical accessory cartography. A rational quadratic Bézier curve is just a conic section. It cannot represent an elliptic segment whose center angle is not less than π$\pi$. However, conics represented in rational quartic format when compared to rational quadratic format, enjoy better properties such as being able to represent conics up to 2π$2\pi$ (but not including 2π$2\pi$) without resorting to negative weights and possessing better parameterization. Therefore, it is actually worth studying the necessary and sufficient conditions for the rational quartic Bézier representation of conics. This paper attributes the rational quartic conic sections to two special kinds, that is, degree-reducible and improperly parameterized; on this basis, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the rational quartic Bézier representation of conics are derived. They are divided into two parts: Bézier control points and weights. These conditions can be used to judge whether a rational quartic Bézier curve is a conic section; or for a given conic section, present positions of the control points and values of the weights of the conic section in form of a rational quartic Bézier curve. Many examples are given to show the use of our results.

A Construction of the Rational Function Sheaves on Elliptic Curves

Abstract The authors introduce an effective method to construct the rational function sheaf κ on an elliptic curve E, and further study the relationship between κ and any coherent sheaf on E. Finally, it is shown that the category of all coherent sheaves of finite length on E is completely characterized by κ.     

Wavelet Rational Filters and Regularty Analysis

In this paper, we choose the trigonometric rational functions as wavelet filters and use them to derive various wavelets. Especially for a certain family of wavelets generated by the rational filters, the better smoothness results than Daubechies' are obtained.     

Rational points and Galois points for a plane curve over a finite field

We study the relationship between rational points and Galois points for a plane curve over a finite field. It is known that the set of Galois points coincides with that of rational points of the projective plane if the curve is the Hermitian, Klein quartic or Ballico–Hefez curve. The author proposes a problem: Does the converse hold true? If the curve of genus zero or one has a rational point, we have an affirmative answer.

Explicit Classification for Torsion Subgroups of Rational Points of Elliptic Curves

We study the classification of elliptic curves E over the rationals ℚ according to the torsion sugroups E _tors(ℚ). More precisely, we classify those elliptic curves with E _tors(ℚ) being cyclic with even orders. We also give explicit formulas for generators of E _tors(ℚ). These results, together with the recent results of K. Ono for the non-cyclic E _tors(ℚ), completely solve the problem of the explicit classification and parameterization when E has a rational point of order 2.

On Rational Interpolation to |x|

We consider Newman-type rational interpolation to |x| induced by arbitrary sets of interpolation nodes, and we show that under mild restrictions on the location of the interpolation nodes, the corresponding sequence of rational interpolants converges to |x|.

Enumerating Rational Curves: The Rational Fibration Method

A new method to approach enumerative questions about rational curves on algebraic varieties is described. The idea is to reduce the counting problems to computations on the Néron-Severi group of a ruled surface. Applications include a short proof of Kontsevich's formula for plane curves and the solution of the analogous problem for the Hirzebruch surface F₃.     

On the conditions for the coincidence of two cubic Bézier curves

In a recent article, Wang et al. [2] derive a necessary and sufficient condition for the coincidence of two cubic Bézier curves with non-collinear control points. The condition reads that their control points must be either coincident or in reverse order. We point out that this uniqueness of the control points for polynomial cubics is a straightforward consequence of a previous and more general result of Barry and Patterson, namely the uniqueness of the control points for rational Bézier curves. Moreover, this uniqueness applies to properly parameterized polynomial curves of arbitrary degree.     

Rates of Best Uniform Rational Approximation of Analytic Functions by Ray Sequences of Rational Functions

In this paper, problems related to the approximation of a holomorphic function f on a compact subset E of the complex plane C by rational functions from the class of all rational functions of order (n,m) are considered. Let ρ _n,m = ρ _n,m (f;E) be the distance of f in the uniform metric on E from the class . We obtain results characterizing the rate of convergence to zero of the sequence of the best rational approximation { ρ _n,m(n) } _n=0 ^∞ , m(n)/n → θ ∈ (0,1] as n → ∞ . In particular, we give an upper estimate for the liminf _{n →∞} ρ _n,m(n) ^1/(n+m(n)) in terms of the solution to a certain minimum energy problem with respect to the logarithmic potential. The proofs of the results obtained are based on the methods of the theory of Hankel operators. June 16, 1997. Date revised: December 1, 1997. Date accepted: December 1, 1997.

New Rational Interpolation Basis Functions on the Unbounded Intervals and Their Applications

Based on the rational system of Legendre rational functions, we construct two set of new interpolation basis functions on the unbounded intervals. Their explicit expressions are derived, and fast and stable algorithms are provided for computing the new basis functions. As applications, new rational collocation methods based on these new basis functions are proposed for solving various second-order differential equations on the unbounded domains. Numerical experiments illustrate that our new methods are more effective and stable than the existing collocation methods.     

Balayage Properties Related to Rational Interpolation

Ambroladze and Wallin have posed several problems, about balayage of measures, which arose from work on approximation by polynomial and rational interpolation in the complex plane. These problems concern the possible coincidence of measures swept onto a Jordan curve from the inner and outer domains. This paper describes when the desired balayage properties hold.

On the Convergence in Capacity of Rational Approximants

Let {r _n } be a sequence of rational functions deg( r _n ≤ n) that converge rapidly in measure to an analytic function f on an open set in C ^N . We show that {r _n } converges rapidly in capacity to f on its natural domain of definition W _f (which, by a result of Goncar, is an open subset of C ^N ). In particular, for f meromorphic on C ^N and analytic near zero the sequence of Padé approximants {π _n (z, f, λ)} (as defined by Goncar) converges rapidly in capacity to f on C ^N .
