Single-valued Bézier curves are of the form \(y=f(x)\) and can only model a very limited variety of shapes. This paper treats such functions in polar coordinates, in the form \(r=r(0)\). The author derives recursive algorithms and shows that the corresponding basis functions are expressed in terms of sines and cosines.
