This paper presents an algorithm for extending B-spline curves and surfaces. Based on the unclamping algorithm for B-spline curves, we propose a new algorithm for extending B-spline curves that extrapolates using the recurrence property of the de Boor algorithm. This algorithm provides a nice extension, with maximum continuity, to the original curve segment. Moreover, it can be applied to the extension of B-spline surfaces. Extension to both single and multiple target points/curves are considered in this paper.

We prove the Poincaré inequality for vector fields on the balls of the control distance by integrating along subunit paths. Our method requires that the balls are representable by means of suitable “controllable almost exponential maps”.

Completely invariant components of the Fatou sets of meromorphic maps are discussed. Positive answers are given to Baker’s and Bergweiler’s problems that such components are the only Fatou components for certain classes of meromorphic maps.
