Exploring Expo-Rational B-splines for Curves and Surfaces
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce expo-rational B-splines for curves and surfaces and explore for the first time some properties of these new splines which depend not only on their knot vector but also on their intrinsic parameters and the geometry and parametrization of the local curves/surfaces. We consider several examples, discuss some computational aspects, and address potential applications in shape design. §

Geometric Modelling with Beta-function B-splines, I: Parametric Curves
This is the first one in a sequence of several papers dedicated to the development of applications of Euler Beta-function B-splines (BFBS) to Computer-aided Geometric Design (CAGD) and, in particular, for geometric modelling of parametric curves, surfaces and volume deformations. This study is an analogue of the study conducted in [12, 10] for the case of expo-rational Bsplines (ERBS). An impor...
متن کاملNUERBS form of expo-rational B-splines
We introduce the several possible ”NUERBS” forms of expo-rational B-splines, and discuss the hierarchy of these forms in the univariate case. We give some first instances of exploration of properties of the expo-rational NUERBS which depend not only on the NUERBS weights but also on the intrinsic parameters of the expo-rational Bsplines.

A new type of B-spline the expo-rational B-spline is introduced. The heuristic motivation for its introduction comes from important similarities in several celebrated mathematical constructions originating in approximation theory, differential geometry and operator theory. The main result of the paper is the derivation of an Edgeworth and a steepest-descent/saddlepoint asymptotic expansion whic...
متن کاملModelling of curves and surfaces in polarand
A new class of spline curves in polar coordinates has been presented in (SS anchez-Reyes, 1992) and independently considered in (de Casteljau, 1994). These are rational trigonometric curves in Cartesian coordinates and can be represented as NURBS. From the relationship existing with the correspondent curves in Cartesian coordinates an alternative way to derive some useful tools for modelling sp...
متن کاملComplexity Reduction for Symbolic Computation with Rational B-splines
Symbolic computation of NURBS plays an important role in many areas of NURBSbased geometric computation and design. However, any nontrivial symbolic computation, especially when rational B-splines are involved, would typically result in B-splines with high degrees. In this paper we develop degree reduction strategies for NURBS symbolic computation on curves. The specific topics we consider incl...
