Abstract

In this paper we show that the best constrained degree reduction of a given Bézier curve f of degree from n to m with Cα-1-continuity at the boundary in L2-norm is equivalent to the best weighted Euclidean approximation of the vector of Bernstein-Bézier (BB) coefficients of f from the vector of degree raised BB coefficients of polynomials of degree m with Cα-1-continuity at the boundary.
