Abstract

Some recent subdivision schemes for curves and surfaces are viewed as perturbations of classical schemes for B-splines, and their convergence analysis is presented. It is shown that, under certain mild conditions, a small perturbation of a convergent subdivision scheme does not impair the smoothness of the limit function. Moreover, a proper perturbation can even increase the smoothness and thus provide a one-parameter class of schemes with better continuity properties.
