Title
Products of B-patches
Abstract
Products and tensor products of multivariate polynomials in B-patch form are viewed as linear combinations of higher degree B-patches. Univariate B-spline segments and certain regions of simplex splines are examples of B-patches. A recursive scheme for transforming tensor product B-patch representations into B-patch representations of more variables is presented. The scheme can also be applied for transforming ann-fold product of B-patch expansions into a B-patch expansion of higher degree. Degree raising formulas are obtained as special cases. The scheme calculates the blossom of the (tensor) product surface and generalizes the pyramidal recursive scheme for B-patches.
