Curves and surfaces construction based on new basis with exponential functions (Q2439472)

Introducing a certain generalization of cubic Bernstein basis functions, generalized Beźier like curves with two shape parameters and corresponding tensor product rectangular patches with four shape parameters are studied here. \(C^1\) and \(C^2\) continuity conditions for joining two such curves are given. Also, \(G^1\) and \(G^2\) continuity conditions for two such patches are obtained. Generalized Beźier like triangular patches are also studied. The shape parameters serve as tension parameters (cf. [\textit{L. Yan} and \textit{J. Liang}, Appl. Math. Comput. 218, No. 6, 2863--2879 (2011; Zbl 1251.65015)]).
