چکیده
This paper presents a general 8th-order PDE method to generate Bézier surfaces from the boundary with position and tangent vector information. We extend the work on generating biharmonic Bézier surfaces by Monterde to generating Bézier surfaces based on a general 4th-order PDE. And further the results are extended to generate tetraharmonic Bézier surfaces by a general 8th-order PDE. The solution of the general 8th-order PDE is actually the extreme value of the corresponding 4th-order quadratic functional. Furthermore we deduce its complete solution, and provide the concrete algorithm. Finally, we demonstrate that the tetraharmonic Bézier surfaces and the Coons bicubic blending surfaces which have significant application values in CAD are the special cases of our results. Keywords-Bézier surfaces; PDE surfaces; 4th-order quadratic functional; general 8th-order PDE

A general 4th-order PDE method to generate Bézier surfaces from the boundary
In this paper we present a method for generating Bézier surfaces from the boundary information based on a general 4th-order PDE. This is a generalisation of our previous work on harmonic and biharmonic Bézier surfaces whereby we studied the Bézier solutions for Laplace and the standard biharmonic equation, respectively. Here we study the Bézier solutions of the Euler–Lagrange equation associate...
متن کاملApproximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces
An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface as the elevated degree tends to infinity. The polynomial triangular surface is con...
متن کاملIntegrating Physics-Based Modeling with PDE Solids for Geometric Design
PDE techniques, which use Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) to model the shapes of various real-world objects, can unify their geometric attributes and functional constraints in geometric computing and graphics. This paper presents a unified dynamic approach that allows modelers to define the solid geometry of sculptured objects using the second-order or fourth-order elliptic PDEs subject t...
متن کاملConstructing PDE-based surfaces bounded by geodesics or lines of curvature
In order to explore a new approach to construct surfaces bounded by geodesics or lines of curvature, a method of surface modeling based on fourth-order partial differential equations (PDEs) is presented. Compared with the free-form surface modeling based on finding control points, PDE-based surface modeling has the following three advantages. First, the corresponding biharmonic surface can natu...
متن کاملShape Morphing of Complex Geometries Using Partial Differential Equations
An alternative technique for shape morphing using a surface generating method using partial differential equations is outlined throughout this work. The boundaryvalue nature that is inherent to this surface generation technique together with its mathematical properties are hereby exploited for creating intermediate shapes between an initial shape and a final one. Four alternative shape morphing...
