The control polygon of a Bezier curve is well-defined and has geometric significance---there is a sequence of weights under which the limiting position of the curve is the control polygon. For a Bezier surface patch, there are many possible…
Rational B\'{e}zier functions are widely used as mapping functions in surface reparameterization, finite element analysis, image warping and morphing. The injectivity (one-to-one property) of a mapping function is typically necessary for…
B\'ezier splines are widely available in various systems with the curves and surface designs. In general, the B\'ezier spline can be specified with the B\'ezier curve segments and a B\'ezier curve segment can be fitted to any number of…

The pre-patterning of a substrate to create energetically more attractive or repulsive regions allows one to generate a variety of structures in physical vapor deposition experiments. A particular interesting structure is generated if the…

Controlling the shapes of surfaces provides a novel way to direct self-assembly of colloidal particles on those surfaces and may be useful for material design. This motivates the investigation of an optimal control problem for surface shape…
Patchworking theorems serve as a basic element of the correspondence between tropical and algebraic curves, which is a core of the tropical enumerative geometry. We present a new version of a patchworking theorem which relates plane…
We consider regulated curves in a Banach bundle whose projection on the basis is continuous with regulated derivative. We build a Banach manifold structure on the set of such curves. This result was previously obtained for the case of…
Most genuine multi-sided surface representations depend on a 2D domain that enables a mapping between local parameters and global coordinates. The shape of this domain ranges from regular polygons to curved configurations, but the simple…
