AbstractWe introduce the (q, h)-blossom of bivariate polynomials, and we define the bivariate (q, h)-Bernstein polynomials and (q, h)-Bézier surfaces on rectangular domains using the tensor product. Using the (q, h)-blossom, we construct recursive evaluation algorithms for (q, h)-Bézier surfaces and we derive a dual functional property, a Marsden identity, and a number of other properties for bivariate (q, h)-Bernstein polynomials and (q, h)-Bézier surfaces. We develop a subdivision algorithm for (q, h)-Bézier surfaces with a geometric rate of convergence. Recursive evaluation algorithms for quantum (q, h)-partial derivatives of bivariate polynomials are also derived.

Abstract In this paper we study Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD) and Manufacturing (CAM) of developable surfaces. We develop direct representations of developable surfaces in terms of point as well as plane geometries. The point representation uses a Bezier curve, the tangents of which span the surface. The plane representation uses control planes instead of control points and determines a surface which is a Bezier interpolation of the control planes. In this case, a de Casteljau type construction method is presented for geometric design of developable Bezier surfaces. In design of piecewise surface patches, a computational geometric algorithm similar to Farin-Boehm construction used in design of piecewise parametric curves is developed for designing developable surfaces with C2 continuity. In the area of manufacturing or fabrication of developable surfaces, we present simple methods for both development of a surface into a plane and bending of a flat plane into a desired developable surface. The approach presented uses plane and line geometries and eliminates the need for solving differential equations of Riccatti type used in previous methods. The results are illustrated using an example generated by a CAD/CAM system implemented based on the theory presented.
