Constructing a quasi-Legendre basis based on the C-Bézier basis (Q2369704)

For some practical applications where approximation approaches are involved, the authors construct an orthogonal basis for the space of algebraic and trigonometric polynomials. This orthogonal basis which is based on the C-Bézier basis, has remarkable properties similar to that of the Legendre basis. Thus, the authors derive the transformation matrices that convert the C-Bézier basis and the orthogonal basis into each other. As an example of application, the authors apply this orthogonal basis to the degree reduction approximation of the C-Bézier curves.
