Aproximación de arcos circulares mediante curvas de Bézier

Abstract

In this work we study two methods to produce B´ezier approximations of circular arcs. The first one uses a truncation of a series of functions, while the second one is based on a discretization of a normal variation along a curve. We analyze these methods in detail and prove their main properties and results. We also present examples and an application of both methods to produce offset curves.
