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.     

Approximation of circular arcs by Bézier curves

For the circular arc of angle 0<α<π we present the explicit form of the best GC³ quartic approximation and the best GC² quartic approximations of various types, and give the explicit form of the Hausdorff distance between the circular arc and the approximate Bézier curves for each case. We also show the existence of the GC⁴ quintic approximations to the arc, and find the explicit form of the best GC³ quintic approximation in certain constraints and their distances from the arc. All approximations we construct in this paper have the optimal order of approximation, twice of the degree of approximate Bézier curves.     

A new type of the generalized Bézier curves

In this paper, we improve the generalized Bernstein basis functions introduced by Han, et al. The new basis functions not only inherit the most properties of the classical Bernstein basis functions, but also reserve the shape parameters that are similar to the shape parameters of the generalized Bernstein basis functions. The degree elevation algorithm and the conversion formulae between the new basis functions and the classical Bernstein basis functions are obtained. Also the new Q-Bézier curve and surface...     

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.     

Polynomial approximation of rational Bézier curves with constraints

We present an efficient method to solve the problem of the constrained least squares approximation of the rational Bézier curve by the polynomial Bézier curve. The presented algorithm uses the dual constrained Bernstein basis polynomials, and exploits their recursive properties. Examples are given, showing the effectiveness of the algorithm.     

Approximation of a planar cubic Bézier spiral by circular arcs

A planar cubic Bézier curve that is a spiral, i.e., its curvature varies monotonically, does not have internal cusps, loops, and inflection points. It is suitable as a design tool for applications in which fair curves are important. Since it is polynomial, it can be conveniently incorporated in CAD systems that are based on B-splines, Bézier curves, or NURBS. When machining objects, it is desirable that as much as possible of a curved toolpath be approximated by a sequence of circular arcs rather than straight-line segments. Such an arc-spline approximation of a planar cubic Bézier spiral is presented.     

Judging or setting weight steady-state of rational Bézier curves and surfaces

Many works have investigated the problem of reparameterizing rational Bézier curves or surfaces via Mbius transformation to adjust their parametric distribution as well as weights, such that the maximal ratio of weights becomes smallerthat some algebraic and computational properties of the curves or surfaces can be improved in a way. However, it is an indication of veracity and optimization of the reparameterization to do prior to judge whether the maximal ratio of weights reaches minimum, and verify the new weights after Mbius transformation. What's more the users of computer aided design softwares may require some guidelines for designing rational Bézier curves or surfaces with the smallest ratio of weights. In this paper we present the necessary and sufficient conditions that the maximal ratio of weights of the curves or surfaces reaches minimum and also describe it by using weights succinctly and straightway.The weights being satisfied these conditions are called being in the stable state. Applying such conditions, any giving rational Bézier curve or surface can automatically be adjusted to come into the stable state by CAD system, that is, the curve or surface possesses its optimal parametric distribution. Finally, we give some numerical examples for demonstrating our results in important applications of judging the stable state of weights of the curves or surfaces and designing rational Bézier surfaces with compact derivative bounds.

Bézier variant of Baskakov-Beta-Stancu operators

In the year 1994, Gupta (Approx Theory Appl (N.S.) 10(3):74–78, 1994) introduced the integral modification of well known Baskakov operators with weights of Beta basis functions and obtained better approximation over the usual Baskakov Durrmeyer operators. The rate of convergence for Bézier variant of these operators for functions of bounded variations were discussed in Gupta (Int J Math Math Sci 32(8):471–479, 2002). The present paper is the extension of the previous work, here we consider the Bézier variant of Baskakov-Beta-Stancu operators. We estimate the rate of convergence of these operators for the bounded functions. In the end of the paper we suggest an open problem.     

Novel polynomial Bernstein bases and Bézier curves based on a general notion of polynomial blossoming

We introduce the G-blossom of a polynomial by altering the diagonal property of the classical blossom, replacing the identity function by arbitrary linear functions G=G(t). By invoking the G-blossom, we construct G-Bernstein bases and G-Bézier curves and study their algebraic and geometric properties. We show that the G-blossom provides the dual functionals for the G-Bernstein basis functions and we use this dual functional property to prove that G-Bernstein basis functions form a partition of unity and satisfy a Marsden identity. We also show that G-Bézier curves share several other properties with classical Bézier curves, including affine invariance, interpolation of end points, and recursive algorithms for evaluation and subdivision. We investigate the effect of the linear functions G on the shape of the corresponding G-Bézier curves, and we derive some necessary and sufficient conditions on the linear functions G which guarantee that the corresponding G-Bézier curves are of Pólya type and variation diminishing. Finally we prove that the control polygons generated by recursive subdivision converge to the original G-Bézier curve, and we derive the geometric rate of convergence of this algorithm.
