We analyze the class of surfaces which are equipped with rational support functions. Any rational support function can be decomposed into a symmetric (even) and an antisymmetric (...
We identify a class of monomial supports that are inherently improper because any surface rational parametrization defined on them is improper. A surface support is inherently imp...
This paper studies shapes (curves and surfaces) which can be described by (piecewise) polynomial support functions. The class of these shapes is closed under convolutions, offsett...
The present paper investigates two-parameter families of spheres in R3 and their corresponding two-dimensional surfaces in R4 . Considering a rational surface in R4 , the envelo...
It is shown that polynomial (or rational) parametric surfaces with a linear field of normal vectors are dual to graphs bivariate polynomials (or rational functions). We discuss th...
