Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In recent decades, geometric modeling has evolved into an interesting and powerful branch of modern science and engineering. Its theories are mostly related to mathematics and computer science, and applications are commonly found in industrial design, computer graphics and animation, CAD/CAM, architecture, and other areas. Most of the popular approaches in geometric modeling include parametric spline curves and surfaces (NURBS, B-splines, T-splines, etc.) which are simple and intuitive for use by industrial and graphic designers. On the other hand, high-quality shapes often require non-traditional approaches such as the use of special functions.

We believe that the field of geometric modeling needs breakthrough research which will result in a higher level of understanding of shape modeling and visual perception, geometric aesthetics, the need of artificial intelligence and the multi-criteria assessment of shape quality in the CAD systems of the future, as well as the necessity of fundamentally new mathematical tools and paradigms which will revolutionize geometric modeling.

The scope of the Special Issue includes but is not limited to original research works within the subject of geometric modeling and its applications in engineering, arts, physics, biology, medicine, computer graphics, architecture, etc., as well as theoretical mathematics and geometry which can be applied to problems of geometric modeling. For this Special Issue, we plan to accept the following types of manuscripts:

  1. Overviews;
  2. Research manuscripts;
  3. Short manuscripts which discuss open problems in geometric modeling.

In view of the above, we invite you to submit your latest work to this Special Issue entitled “Modern Geometric Modeling: Theory and Applications II”. If you are interested in the contents of our previous Special Issue, you can access it online at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/mathematics/special_issues/Modern_Geometric_Modeling_Theory_Applications

We introduce a new sequence space hA(p), which is not normable, in general, and show that it is a paranormed space. Here, A and p denote an infinite matrix and a sequence of positive numbers. In the special case, when A is a diagonal matrix with a sequence d of positive terms on its diagonal and p=(1,1,…), then hA(p) reduces to the generalized Hahn space hd. We applied our own software to visualize the shapes of parts of spheres in three-dimensional space endowed with the relative paranorm of hA(p), when A is an upper triangle. For this, we developed a parametric representation of these spheres and solved the visibility and contour (silhouette) problems. Finally, we demonstrate the effects of the change of the entries of the upper triangle A and the terms of the sequence p on the shape of the spheres. Full article

Bézier curves and surfaces with shape parameters have received more attention in the field of engineering and technology in recent years because of their useful geometric properties as compared to classical Bézier curves, as well as traditional Bernstein basis functions. In this study, the generalized Bézier-like curves (gBC) are constructed based on new generalized Bernstein-like basis functions (gBBF) with two shape parameters. The geometric properties of both gBBF and gBC are studied, and it is found that they are similar to the classical Bernstein basis and Bézier curve, respectively. Some free form curves can be modeled using the proposed gBC and surfaces as the applications. Full article

In this article, we proposed a novel method for the construction of generalized hybrid trigonometric (GHT-Bézier) developable surfaces to tackle the issue of modeling and shape designing in engineering. The GHT-Bézier developable surface is obtained by using the duality principle between the points and planes with GHT-Bézier curve. With different shape control parameters in their domain, a class of GHT-Bézier developable surfaces can be established (such as enveloping developable GHT-Bézier surfaces, spine curve developable GHT-Bézier surfaces, geodesic interpolating surfaces for GHT-Bézier surface and developable GHT-Bézier canal surfaces), which possess many properties of GHT-Bézier surfaces. By changing the values of shape parameters the effect on the developable surface is obvious. In addition, some useful geometric properties of GHT-Bézier developable surface and the G1, G2 (Farin-Boehm and Beta) and G3 continuity conditions between any two GHT-Bézier developable surfaces are derived. Furthermore, various useful and representative numerical examples demonstrate the convenience and efficiency of the proposed method. Full article

Q-Bézier curves find extensive applications in shape design owing to their excellent geometric properties and good shape adjustability. In this article, a new method for the multiple-degree reduction of Q-Bézier curves by incorporating the swarm intelligence-based squirrel search algorithm (SSA) is proposed. We formulate the degree reduction as an optimization problem, in which the objective function is defined as the distance between the original curve and the approximate curve. By using the squirrel search algorithm, we search within a reasonable range for the optimal set of control points of the approximate curve to minimize the objective function. As a result, the optimal approximating Q-Bézier curve of lower degree can be found. The feasibility of the method is verified by several examples, which show that the method is easy to implement, and good degree reduction effect can be achieved using it. Full article

The construction of new basis functions for the Bézier or B-spline curve has been one of the most popular themes in recent studies in Computer Aided Geometric Design (CAGD). Implementing the new basis functions with shape parameters provides a different viewpoint on how new types of basis functions can develop complex curves and surfaces beyond restricted formulation. The wide selection of shape parameters allows more control over the shape of the curves and surfaces without altering their control points. However, interpolated parametric curves with higher degrees tend to overshoot in the process of curve fitting, making it difficult to control the optimal length of the curved trajectory. Thus, a new parameter needs to be created to overcome this constraint to produce free-form shapes of curves and surfaces while still preserving the basic properties of the Bézier curve. In this work, a general fractional Bézier curve with shape parameters and a fractional parameter is presented. Furthermore, parametric and geometric continuity between two generalized fractional Bézier curves is discussed in this paper, as well as demonstrating the effect of the fractional parameter of curves and surfaces. However, the conventional parametric and geometric continuity can only be applied to connect curves at the endpoints. Hence, a new type of continuity called fractional continuity is proposed to overcome this limitation. Thus, with the curve flexibility and adjustability provided by the generalized fractional Bézier curve, the construction of complex engineering curves and surfaces will be more efficient.
