In this paper we construct developable surface patches which are bounded by two rational or NURBS curves, though the resulting patch is not a rational or NURBS surface in general. This is accomplished by reparameterizing one of the boundary…
The paper is a generalization of a result of I. Dolgachev, M. Mendes Lopes, and R. Pardini. We prove that a smooth projective complex surface $X$, not necessarily minimal, contains $h^{1,1}(X)-1$ disjoint $(-2)$-curves if and only if $X$ is…
Spline functions have long been used in numerical solution of differential equations. Recently it revives as isogeometric analysis, which offers integration of finite element analysis and NURBS based CAD into a single unified process.…
The aim of the paper is to give a method of constructing k-slant curves via any plane curve.
In this paper, we give several simple methods for drawing a whole rational surface (without base points) as several Bezier patches. The first two methods apply to surfaces specified by triangular control nets and partition the real…
In this paper, we classify the rotational surfaces with constant skew curvature in $3$-space forms. We also give a variational characterization of the profile curves of these surfaces as critical points of a curvature energy involving the…
In this paper we introduce an algorithm of construction of cyclic space-filling curves. One particular construction provides a family of space-filling curves in all dimensions (H-curves). They are compared here with the Hilbert curve in the…
This note derives parametrizations for surfaces of revolution that satisfy an affine-linear relation between their respective curvature radii. Alongside, parametrizations for the uniform normal offsets of those surfaces are obtained. Those…
This paper outlines a methodology for constructing a geometrically smooth interpolatory curve in $\mathbb{R}^d$ applicable to oriented and flattenable points with $d\ge 2$. The construction involves four essential components: local…
While orthogonal drawings have a long history, smooth orthogonal drawings have been introduced only recently. So far, only planar drawings or drawings with an arbitrary number of crossings per edge have been studied. Recently, a lot of…
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…
We show that we can obtain a reducible spherical curve from any non-trivial spherical curve by four or less inverse-half-twisted splices, i.e., the reductivity, which represents how reduced a spherical curve is, is four or less. We also…
It is proved that a generic simple, closed, piecewise regular curve in space can be the boundary of only finitely many developable surfaces with nonvanishing mean curvature. The relevance of this result in the context of the dynamics of…
A set of bathymetry point clouds acquired by different measurement techniques at different times, having different accuracy and varying patterns of points, are approximated by an LR B-spline surface. The aim is to represent the sea bottom…
In this paper we address the issue of designing developable surfaces with Bezier patches. We show that developable surfaces with a polynomial edge of regression are the set of developable surfaces which can be constructed with Aumann's…
Computational analysis with the finite element method requires geometrically accurate meshes. It is well known that high-order meshes can accurately capture curved surfaces with fewer degrees of freedom in comparison to low-order meshes.…

In this paper, we consider a regular curve on an oriented surface in Euclidean 3-space with the Darboux frame $\{\mathsf{T},\mathsf{V},\mathsf{U}\}$ along the curve, where $\mathsf{T}$ is the unit tangent vector field of the curve,…

Let V be a plane smooth cubic curve over a finitely generated field k. The Mordell-Weil theorem for V states that there is a finite subset P \subset V(k) such that the whole V(k) can be obtained from P by drawing secants and tangents…
