On blending of several quadratic algebraic surfaces
In this paper, we introduce a kind of blending algebraic surfaces that smoothly join two or more quadratic implicit defined algebraic surfaces with G(1) continuity. By virtue of the properties of Grobner bases, we derive successfully the problem of blending algebraic surfaces to the one of solving a corresponding linear system. The blending surfaces obtained in this paper are of lower degree, less computational complexity and simple in form. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
