摘要
Interpolatory subdivision algorithms for the generation of curves and surfaces play a veryimportant rule in shape design and modelling in CAD/CAM systems. In this paper, by using the dif-ference and divided difference analysis, a systematic method to construct Cn (n≥ 0) interpolatorycurves by subdivision from given data is described and the mask (filter) of the algorithm is presentedexplicitly. This algorithm generates a Cn smooth curve which interpolates the initial control points.Control parameters are also provided so that the shape of the final curve can be adjusted according torequirements. An immediate generalisation of the method is the construction of smooth interpolatorysubdivision algorithms over uniform triangular networks (tensor product type data) in Rm. The mainresults of this algorithm for smooth interpolatory surface subdivision algorrthm are also included.AMS(MOS) : 65D05 , 65D15 , 65D17.
