C2 Hermite interpolation by Minkowski Pythagorean hodograph curves and medial axis transform approximation

We describe and fully analyze an algorithm for C^2 Hermite interpolation by Pythagorean hodograph curves of degree 9 in Minkowski space R^2^,^1. We show that for any data there exists a four-parameter system of interpolants and we identify the one which preserves symmetry and planarity of the input data and which has the optimal approxima...More
