Variational Design of Rational Bezier Curves and Surfaces

The design of curves and surfaces in C.A.D. systems has many applications in car, plane or ship industry. Because they offer more flexibility, rational functions are often preferred to polynomial functions to modelize curves and surfaces. In this work, several methods to generate rational Bezier cur...
