Abstract
The definition of Pythagorean-hodograph C-curve is given and a necessary and sufficient condition for a fourth-order plane C-curve to be a PH C-curve is obtained.A new geometric construction approach of fourth-order PH C-Bézier curves is also proposed.Finally,it is proved that higher order (>4) PH Ccurves are either straight lines or polynomial PH curves.
