Exotic relation modules and homotopy types for certain 1-relator groups
Jens Harlander, Jacqueline A Jensen
Using stably free non-free relation modules we construct an infinite collection of 2-dimensional homotopy types, each of Euler-characteristic one and with trefoil fundamental group…

Some geometrical aspects of control points for toric patches
Gheorghe Craciun, Luis Garcia-Puente, Frank Sottile
We use ideas from algebraic geometry and dynamical systems to explain some ways that control points influence the shape of a Bézier curve or patch. In particular, we establish a ge…

Linear precision for parametric patches
Luis Garcia-Puente, Frank Sottile
We give a precise mathematical formulation for the notions of a parametric patch and linear precision, and establish their elementary properties. We relate linear precision to the…
