Product Description
Two new volumes of carefully refereed and edited papers on the most current developments in the theory and applications of curves and surfaces.

These two volumes contain a selection of papers presented at the Saint-Malo Conference on Approximation Theory in July 1999. Each contains several invited survey papers written by experts in the field, along with contributed research papers. They will be of great interest to mathematicians, engineers, and computer scientists working in the fields of Approximation Theory, Computer-Aided Geometric Design (CAGD), Computer Graphics, Numerical Analysis, CAD/CAM, and application areas.

Curve and Surface Design includes the following topics:

B-bases
canal surfaces
conics
curvature
discrete fairing
free form surfaces
G2-splines

L'ouvrage traite de l'essor d'une association villageoise inventée par un groupe de jeunes Mossi des villages de l'ancien royaume d'Oubrigenta au Burkina Faso. Elle naît des rêves de quelques-uns qui, après des années de migration, rentrent avec un «ailleurs en tête». ... Read more

Product Description
There is a great deal of current interest in mathematical methods for representing and manipulating complicated curves and surfaces in a digital computer environment. This edited work is a collection of both short survey papers and long research papers, addressing a number of topics important to development in the field. Among these are 3-D reconstruction, thin plate splines, geometric continuity, image compression, and radial functions. The survey papers focus on several particularly active subareas of approximation theory, including tomography, wavelets, constrained approximation, multivariate splines, approximation of images, and surface compression. ...
