[For the entire collection see Zbl 0746.00030.] A rational Bézier curve \(\mathbb{R}^ n(t)\) of degree \(n\) is defined by \[ \mathbb{R}^ n(t)= \sum^ n_{i= 0} \omega_ i b_ i B^ n_ i(t)/ \sum^ n_{i= 0} \omega_ iB^ n_ i(t), \] with the notations: \(\omega_ i\) for weights, \(b_ i\) for Bézier control points and \(B^ n_ i(t)\) for Bernstein polynomials of degree \(n\). The authors discuss the problem of reparametrization \(t\) and the degree of elevation \(n\) of the Bézier curves. They further discuss the case of the degree reduction of the Bézier curves. Finally, they draw a conclusion that the reparametrization of a rational Bézier curve may be done by a rational linear transformation of the parameter by changing the weights and without affecting the shape of the curve. No result is given in the form of a theorem.
