Introduction to Timelike Uniform B-splineCurves in Minkowski-3 Space
The intention of this article is to study on timelike uniform B-spline curves in Minkowski-3 space. In our paper, we take the control points of uniform B-spline curves as a timelike point in Minkowski-3 space.

Cubic B-spline curve approximation by curve unclamping [PDF]
A new approach for cubic B-spline curve approximation is presented. The method produces an approximation cubic B-spline curve tangent to a given curve at a set of selected positions, called tangent points, in a piecewise manner starting from a seed segment. A heuristic method is provided to select the tangent points.
