• closedAccess   A third order partial differential equation for isotropic boundary based triangular Bézier surface generation 

      Arnal, A.; Monterde, Juan Elsevier (2011-08-15)
      We approach surface design by solving a linear third order Partial Differential Equation (PDE). We present an explicit polynomial solution method for triangular Bézier PDE surface generation characterized by a boundary ...

      Arnal, A.; Monterde, Juan Elsevier (2023-05)
      The affine space of all tensor product Bézier patches of degree n × n with prescribed main diagonal curves is determined. First, the pair of Bézier curves which can be diagonals of a Bézier patch is characterized. Besides ...
    • openAccess   Curvature approximation from parabolic sectors 

      Gual-Arnau, Ximo; Ibáñez Gual, Maria Victoria; Monterde, Juan International Society for Stereology (2017)
      We propose an invariant three-point curvature approximation for plane curves based on the arc of a parabolic sector, and we analyze how closely this approximation is to the true curvature of the curve. We compare our results ...
    • openAccess   Explicit Bézier control net of a PDE surface 

      Arnal, A.; Monterde, Juan Elsevier (2017-02)
      The PDE under study here is a general fourth-order linear elliptic Partial Differential Equation. Having prescribed the boundary control points, we provide the explicit expression of the whole control net of the associated ...

      Arnal, A.; Monterde, Juan; Ugail, Hassan Elsevier (2011-08)
      We present an explicit polynomial solution method for surface generation. In this case the surface in question is characterized by some boundary configuration whereby the resulting surface conforms to a fourth order linear ...
