RT journal article T1 Fitting missing data by means of adaptive meshes of Bézier curves A1 Fortes, Miguel Ángel A1 Medina Reus, Elena Blanca A2 Matemáticas K1 Powell-Sabin finite element K1 missing data K1 surface reconstruction K1 energy functional K1 shape-preserving K1 B ́ezier curves AB In this paper we present a method to fit missing data – i.e., to fit a dataset containing a region in which no data are provided– by means of a C1-quadratic patch. Such a patch is constructed to faithfully extend the shape and the geometric features of the dataset. To this end, a mesh of curves gathering the information about the shape of the dataset will be considered and extended to the interior of the hole. Next, a (unique) patch fitting such a mesh of curves will be computed. Several numerical and graphical examples showing the effectiveness of the proposed method are provided SN 0378-4754 YR 2022 FD 2022-01 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10498/26651 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10498/26651 LA eng DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Cádiz RD 10-may-2026
