Abstract:We establish the uniform convergence of the control polygons generated by repeated degree elevation of q-Bézier curves ( i.e., polynomial curves represented in the q-Bernstein bases of increasing degrees) on [0, 1], q > 1, to a piecewise linear curve with vertices on the original curve. A similar result is proved for q < 1, but surprisingly the limit vertices are not on the original curve, but on the q −1 -Bézier curve with control polygon taken in the reverse order. We introduce a q-deformation (quantum Loren… Show more
