Abstract

In this paper we derive a sequence of linear normal (LN) curves b 2 n of degree 2 n which are G n endpoint interpolations of a circular arc and have approximation order 2 n + 2 . This is an extension of the circle approximation method by LN Bézier curves given in Ahn and Hoffmann (2014) to all even degrees. We also extend the circle approximation to an ellipse approximation by G n LN curves of degree 2 n . An upper bound of the Hausdorff distance between the ellipse and its LN approximation is obtained. We illustrate our results through an LN approximation of convolution curves of ellipses and a spline curve.
