Abstract

We use the matrices of transformations between Chebyshev and Bernstein basis and the matrices of degree elevation and reduction of Chebyshev polynomials to present a simple and efficient method for r times degree elevation and optimal r times degree reduction of Bézier curves with respect to the weighted L₂-norm for the interval [0, 1], using the weight function w (x) = 1 / sqrt(4 x - 4 x²). The error of the degree reduction scheme is given, and the degree reduction with continuity conditions is also considered.
