Abstract

The mean distance between a curve and its control polygon is bounded in terms of the norm of second order differences of the control points. We also analyze the distance of a rational curve to its control polygon and suggest a choice of the weight for obtaining rational curves much closer to its control polygon than Bézier curves.
