Download or read book Shape Preserving Representations in Computer-aided Geometric Design written by Juan M. Peña and published by Nova Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presents recent important advances in the field of computer-aided geometric design in the study of shape-preserving representations of curves and surfaces. The volume's dozen papers are organized into five sections on: shape preserving representations of curves, optimality of B-bases, blossoming and geometric approach, shape preserving representations of surfaces, and trigonometric bases for the representation of curves and surfaces. The index spans the admissible (in design algorithms for spline curves) to the weak Chebyshev space and system. Contributors hail from six European countries.
