Ternary approximating non-stationary subdivision schemes for curve design

Abstract

In this paper, an algorithm has been introduced to produce ternary 2m-point (for any integer m ≥ 1) approximating non-stationary subdivision schemes which can generate the linear spaces spanned by {1; cos(α.); sin(α.)}. The theory of asymptotic equivalence is being used to analyze the convergence and smoothness of the schemes. The proposed algorithm can be consider as the non-stationary counter part of the 2-point and 4-point existing ternary stationary approximating schemes, for different values of m. Moreover, the proposed algorithm has the ability to reproduce or regenerate the conic sections, trigonometric polynomials and trigonometric splines.
