Corner cutting evaluation algorithms for general rational curves (Q2341008)

The authors study rational systems generated by corner cutting systems, see [\textit{G. Farin}, ``Algorithms for rational Bézier curves'', Comput. Aided Design 15, 73--77 (1983)]. Observing that rational systems generated by corner cutting systems are not necessarily corner cutting systems, they introduce weak corner cutting systems (WCCS) and show that rational systems generated from WCCS are also weak corner cutting and therefore, the associated rational curves can be evaluated by corner cutting algorithms (cf. [\textit{E. Mainar} and \textit{J. M. Peña}, Numer. Algorithms 22, No. 1, 41--52 (1999; Zbl 0964.65008)]).
