Cubic parametric curves of given tangent and curvature

We propose a constructive solution to the problem of finding a cubic parametric curve in a plane if the tangent vectors (derivatives with respect to the parameter) and signed curvatures are given at its end-points but the end-points themselves are unknown. We also show how these curves can be applied to construct blending curves subject to curvature, arc length, inflection and area constraints.

Inflection points and singularities on planar rational cubic curve segments

We obtain the distribution of inflection points and singularities on a parametric rational cubic curve segment with aid of Mathematica (A System of for Doing Mathematics by Computer). The reciprocal numbers of the magnitudes of the end slopes determine the occurrence of inflection points and singularities on the segment. Its use enables us to check whether the segment has inflection points or a...

An Optimal G^2-Hermite Interpolation by Rational Cubic Bézier Curves

In this paper, we study a geometric G^2 Hermite interpolation by planar rational cubic Bézier curves. Two data points, two tangent vectors and two signed curvatures interpolated per each rational segment. We give the necessary and the sufficient intrinsic geometric conditions for two C^2 parametric curves to be connected with G2 continuity. Locally, the free parameters w...

Shape Control of Cubic H - Bézier Curve by Moving Control Point ?

This paper considers the shape control of the cubic H-Bézier curve, which can represent hyperbolas and catenaries accurately. We fix all the control points while let one vary. The locus of the moving control point that yields a cusp on the cubic H-Bézier curve is a planar curve; The tangent surface of the planar curve is the locus of the positions of the moving control point that yield inflecti...

Looking for Rational Curves on Cubic Hypersurfaces

The aim of these lectures is to study rational points and rational curves on varieties, mainly over finite fields Fq. We concentrate on hypersurfaces Xn of degree ≤ n+ 1 in Pn+1, especially on cubic hypersurfaces. The theorem of Chevalley–Warning (cf. Esnault’s lectures) guarantees rational points on low degree hypersurfaces over finite fields. That is, if X ⊂ Pn+1 is a hypersurface of degree ≤...
