Piecewise linear approximation and error estimation Control mesh is often used as a piecewise linear approximation to a CCSS
How to estimate the error (distance) between a CCSS and its control mesh? Wang et al. measured the maximal distance between
the control points and their limit positions Cheng et al. devised a more rigorous way to measure
the distance between a CCSS patch and its mesh face We improve Cheng et al.’s estimate for extraordinary
CCSS patches

Distance between a CCSS patch and its control mesh Distance between a CCSS patch and its mesh face (or control mesh) is defined as:
: a unit square : Stam’s parameterization of over : bilinear parameterization of over
Cheng et al. bounded the distance by
: the second order norm of : a constant that depends on valence n, We derive a more precise if n is even.

Comparsion of the convergence rates If n is odd, our estimates equal the results of the
matrix based method derived by Cheng et al. If n is even, our technique gives better estimates
Cheng et al.’s method gives wrong estimates if n is even and greater than 6. ( should be less than 1.)

If n is even, our bound is sharper than the result derived by the matrix based method.
should decreases as increases. If n is quite large such as 12 and 16, the matrix based method may give improper estimates.

Application: CCSS intersection
Conclusion By solving constrained minimization problems,
the optimal convergence rates of second order norm are derived.
An improved error estimate for an extraordinary CCSS patch is obtained if the valence is even.
More precise subdivision depths can be obtained.
Open problems: Whether is there an explicit expression for the multi-step
convergence rate Whether can we determine the value of ( )C n
