Article
In this paper, an approximation procedure for space curves is described, which significantly improves the standard approximation rate via parametric Taylor's approximations. The method takes advantages of the freedom in the choice of the parametrization and yields the order (m + 1) + [(m + 1)(2d - 1)] for a curve in Rd, where m is the degree of the...

We describe an approximation method for planar curves that significantly improves the standard rate obtained by local Taylor approximations. The method exploits the freedom in the choice of the parametrization and achieves the order 4m/3 where m is the degree of the approximating polynomial parametrization.

The problem of degree reduction and degree raising of triangular Bézier surfaces is considered. The L2 and l2 measures of distance combined with the least-squares method are used to get a formula for the Bézier points. The methods use the matrix representations of the degree reduction and degree raising.

In this article, it is shown that a space curve in R-d can be approximated by a piecewise polynomial curve of degree m with order (m + 1) + [(m + 1)/(2d - 1)] rather than m + 1. Moreover, we show that the optimal order (m + 1) + [(m - 1)/(d - 1)] is possible for a particular set of curves of nonzero measure. Analogous results were shown to be true...

In this paper, we are concerned about numerical solutions to ODEs and PDEs that are used to model and describe real-life problems. Usually, these equations are approximated numerically because it is convenient and on-hand to be calculated on computing devices.
