Abstract

By incorporating two exponential functions into the cubic Bernstein basis functions, a new class of 驴μ-Bernstein basis functions is constructed. Based on these 驴μ-Bernstein basis functions, a kind of 驴μ-Bézier-like curve with two shape parameters, which include the cubic Bernstein-Bézier curve, is proposed. The C 1 and C 2 continuous conditions for joining two 驴μ-Bézier-like curves are given. By using tensor product method, a class of rectangular Bézier-like patches with four shape parameters is shown. The G 1 and G 2 continuous conditions for joining two rectangular Bézier-like patches are derived. By incorporating three exponential functions into the cubic Bernstein basis functions over triangular domain, a new class of 驴μ驴-Bernstein basis functions over triangular domain is also constructed. Based on the 驴μ驴-Bernstein basis functions, a kind of triangular 驴μ驴-Bézier-like patch with three shape parameters, which include the triangular Bernstein-Bézier cubic patch, is presented. The conditions for G 1 continuous smooth joining two triangular 驴μ驴-Bézier-like patches are discussed. The shape parameters serve as tension parameters and have a predictable adjusting role on the curves and patches.
