The problem of the computation of derivatives arises in various applications of rational Bezier curves. These applications sometimes require the computation of derivative on numerous points. Therefore, many researches have dealt with the representation for the computation of derivatives with the small computation error. This paper compares the performances of the representations for the derivative of rational Bezier curves in the performances. The performance is measured as computation requirements at the pre-processing stage and at the computation stage based on the theoretical derivation of computational bound as well as the experimental verification. Based on this measurement, this paper discusses which representation is preferable in different situations.

For a nondegenerate projective variety, it is a classical problem to study its defining equations with respect to a given embedding. In this paper, we precisely determine minimal sets of generators of the defining ideals of some curves of maximal regularity in ℙ⁵.

The computational efficiency of an shape optimization procedure is highly dependent upon the proper selection of shape representation methods and design variables. In this study, shape functions, Bezier and NURBS(non-uniform rational B-splines) curves are selected as configuration generation methods and their efficiencies on the nose shape design of high-speed air vehicles, are compared. The effects of the number of control points, weighting factors and the optimization methods when utilizing the NURBS curves, are investigated. By implementing Bezier and NURBS curves, shapes having lower drag than the optimization case utilizing the shape functions, were obtained, hence it was demonstrated that these curves have better capability in representing the configuration. Efforts will be given to improve the convergence behavior when utilizing the NURBS, hence to reduce the number of Navier-Stokes analysis calculations.

We count the isomorphism classes of elliptic curves over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_{3^{n}}$ and list a representative of each isomorphism class. Also we give the number of rational points for each supersingular elliptic curve over $\mathbb{F}_{3^{n}}$.

The problem of finding rational or integral points of an elliptic curve basically boils down to solving a cubic equation. We look closely at the cubic formula of Cardano to find a criterion for a cubic polynomial to have a rational or integral roots. Also we show that existence of a rational root of a cubic polynomial implies existence of a solution for certain Diophantine equation. As an application we find some integral solutions of some special type for $y^2=x^3+b$.

In this paper, we present arc-length estimations for quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curves using the length of polygon and distance between both end points. Our arc-length estimations coincide with the arc-length of the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve exactly when the weight ${\omega}$ is 0, 1 and ${\infty}$. We show that for all ${\omega}$ > 0 our estimations are strictly increasing with respect to ${\omega}$. Moreover, we find the parameter ${\mu}^*$ which makes our estimation coincide with the arc-length of the quadratic rational B$\acute{e}$zier curve when it is a circular arc too. We also show that ${\mu}^*$ has a special limit, which is used for optimal estimation. We present some numerical examples, and the numerical results illustrates that the estimation with the limit value of ${\mu}^*$ is an optimal estimation.

Let $C_d$ be the rational curve of degree d in $P_k ^3$ given parametrically by $x_0 = u^d, X_1 = u^{d - 1}t, X_2 = ut^{d - 1}, X_3 = t^d (d \geq 4)$. Then the defining ideal of $C_d$ can be minimally generated by d polynomials $F_1, F_2, \ldots, F_d$ such that $degF_1 = 2, degF_2 = \cdots = degF_d = d - 1$ and $C_d$ is a set-theoretically complete intersection on $F_2 = X_1^{d-1} - X_2X_0^{d-2}$ for every field k of characteristic p > 0. For the proofs we will use the notion of Grobner basis.

Let $C{\subset}{\mathbb{P}}^r$ be a nondegenerate projective curve of degree d > r + 1 and of maximal regularity. Such curves are always contained in the threefold scroll S(0, 0, r - 2). Also some of such curves are even contained in a rational normal surface scroll. In this paper we study the minimal free resolution of the homogeneous coordinate ring of C in the case where $d{\leq}2r-2$ and C is contained in a rational normal surface scroll. Our main result provides all the graded Betti numbers of C explicitly.

In this paper we present a full circle approximation method using parametric polynomial curves with algebraic coefficients which are curvature continuous at both endpoints. Our method yields the n-th degree parametric polynomial curves which have a total number of 2n contacts with the full circle at both endpoints and the midpoint. The parametric polynomial approximants have algebraic coefficients involving rational numbers and radicals for degree higher than four. We obtain the exact Hausdorff distances between the circle and the approximation curves.

In this paper, we consider the parameter space of the rational plane curves with uni-branched singularity. We show that such a parameter space is decomposable into irreducible components which are rational varieties. Rational parametrizations of the irreducible components are given in a constructive way, by a repeated use of Abhyankar-Moh Epimorphism Theorem. We compute an enumerative invariant of this parameter space, and include explicit computational examples to recover some classically-known invariants.
