Abstract

Let C be the curve constructed using the 4-point scheme on an initial control point set S. We prove that, in general, C is not invariant under any refinement of S except the refinement by one or more steps of the 4-point scheme itself. We outline the proofs of similar results holding for more general interpolatory subdivision schemes.
