Lower bounds, mandating a minimal number and degree of polynomial pieces, represent a major achievement in the theory of geometrically smooth (G) constructions. On one hand, they establish a floor when searching for optimal constructions, on the other they can be used to flag complex constructions for potential flaws. In particular, quadrilateral meshes of arbitrary topology can not in general ...

. Parametric curves are represented using these modified Bernstein basis and the concept of total positivity is applied to investigate the shape properties of the curve. We get Bézier curve defined on [0, 1] when we set the parameter α, β to the value 0. We also present a de Casteljau algorithm to compute Bernstein Bézier curves and surfaces with shifted knots. The new curves have some properti...

This study aimed to compare within-subject blood pressure (BP) variabilities from different measurement techniques. Cuff pressures from three repeated BP measurements were obtained from 30 normotensive and 30 hypertensive subjects. Automatic BPs were determined from the pulses with normalised peak amplitude larger than a threshold (0.5 for SBP, 0.7 for DBP, and 1.0 for MAP). They were also dete...

Shifted polynomial basis (SPB) is a variation of polynomial basis representation. SPB has potential for efficient bit level and digi -level implementations of multiplication over binary extension fields with subquadratic space complexity. For efficient implementation of pairing computation with large finite fields, this paper presents a new SPB multiplication algorithm based on Karatsuba scheme...

We study a family of two variables polynomials having moduli up to bilipschitz equivalence: distinct this are not equivalent. However any level curve the first polynomial is equivalent second.

We present an example of a fibred quadratic polynomial admitting an attracting invariant 2-curve. By an unfolding construction we obtain an example of a fibred quadratic polynomial admitting two attracting invariant curves. This phenomena can not occur in the non-fibred setting.

We study a Dirichlet series attached to a polynomial first defined by Rubin and Silverberg in their study of ranks of quadratic twists of a fixed elliptic curve. We apply Mumford’s gap principle to show that the series converges if the associated polynomial has distinct roots and degree at least 5. r 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

We give a new algorithm to simplify given triangulation with respect curve. The simplification uses flips together powers of Dehn twists in order complete polynomial time the bit-size

An attractive method for approximating rational triangular Bézier surfaces by polynomial triangular Bézier surfaces is introduced. The main result is that the arbitrary given order derived vectors of a polynomial triangular surface converge uniformly to those of the approximated rational triangular Bézier surface as the elevated degree tends to infinity. The polynomial triangular surface is con...

Using the language of Riordan arrays, we define a notion of generalized Bernstein polynomials which are defined as elements of certain Riordan arrays. We characterize the general elements of these arrays, and examine the Hankel transform of the row sums and the first columns of these arrays. We propose conditions under which these Hankel transforms possess the Somos-4 property. We use the gener...
