This paper presents algorithms for computing offsets of NURBS curves and surfaces. The basic approach consists of four steps: (1) recognition of special curves and surfaces; (2) s...
In contrast to the extensively researched modeling of plant architecture, the modeling of plant organs largely remains an open problem. In this paper, we propose a method for mode...
For data-collection applications in sensor networks, it is important to ensure base station receives a complete picture about the monitored area. Convergecast is an important commu...
A scheme to specify planar C2 Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) quintic spline curves by control polygons is proposed, in which the “ordinary” C2 cubic B-spline curve serves as a ref...

As shown in [7], optimal control problems with either ODE or PDE dynamics can be solved efficiently using a setting of consistent approximations obtained by numerical discretizati...
