The dual bases for the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball polynomial bases and their applications (Q613232)

The dual bases for the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball bases is introduced. First, a unifying representation of the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball bases is given. Then, the similar properties of the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball basis functions to the properties of the Bernstein basis functions are presented. After that, two practical problems are solved: {\parindent=6mm \begin{itemize}\item[(1)]deducing the Mardsen identity about the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball bases; \item[(2)]deducing the mutual transformation formulae between the Bernstein basis and the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball bases. \end{itemize}} Numerical examples with graphical representation of obtained results are presented in the paper, too. The dual bases for the Bézier-Said-Wang type generalized Ball bases can be widely applied in computer aided geometric modelling area.
