A Four Degree Algebraic Spline with G2 Continuity

Abstract
Polynomial algebraic arc in a triangle can be represented by Bernstein-Bézier through barycentric coordinates transform.A four-degree real algebraic spline with four shape handles and passing through two vertexes of triangle is chosen from them.Given sequence points or controlling polygon,every two consecutive points can construct a triangle with an exterior vertex,which acts as controlling points.The arc that interpolate given points or approximate controlling vertexes in every triangle can construct G2 continuity curve for sequence points. If shape handles are given,the individual arc is proved to be monotone in barycentric coordinates system,and it can be convex-preserving through adjusting four handles.Finally,we give an example to compare with the three-degree algebraic spline.
