Constructing parametric quadratic curves
نویسنده
چکیده
Constructing a parametric spline curve to pass through a set of data points requires assigning a knot to each data point. In this paper we discuss the construction of parametric quadratic splines and present a method to assign knots to a set of planar data points. The assigned knots are invariant under a ne transformations of the data points, and can be used to construct a parametric quadratic spline which reproduces parametric quadratic polynomials. Results of comparisons of the new method with several known methods are included. c © 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

The Response of Two-Degree of Freedom Self-Sustained Systems with Quadratic Nonlinearities to a Parametric Excitation (RESEARCH NOTE)
In this study the interaction between self-excited and paramet rically excited oscillations in two-degree-of-freedom systems with quadratic nonlinearities is investigated. The fundamental parametric resonance of the first mode and 3:1 internal resonance is considered, followed by 1:2 internal and parametric resonances of the second mode. The method of multiple time scales is applied to derive f...
متن کاملConstructing G quadratic Bézier curves with arbitrary endpoint tangent vectors
Quadratic Bézier curves are important geometric entities in many applications. However, it was often ignored by the literature the fact that a single segment of a quadratic Bézier curve may fail to fit arbitrary endpoint unit tangent vectors. The purpose of this paper is to provide a solution to this problem, i.e., constructing G quadratic Bézier curves satisfying given endpoint (positions and ...
متن کاملApproximate Implicitization of Planar Parametric Curves using Quadratic Splines
A quadratic Bézier spline with G-continuity is given to approximate a planar parametric curve. In its construction, the parametric curve is first divided into several segments. A rational quadratic Bézier curve is then applied to approximate each segment and recursive subdivision for the segment may be used if the approximation error is out of the given range. With this method, we not only keep...

متن کاملA Parametric Representation of Critical Curves and Caustics for a Binary Gravitational Lens
We find a simple expression for critical curves of a binary gravitational lens. On the basis of this, we present a parametric representation of such curves. The caustics can also be expressed with the same parameterization. The present result is helpful for efficiently constructing many templates of light curves due to binary systems, particularly extrasolar planets, which cause spikes in the l...
