Note that
$$sum_j=0^n-12j(2j-1)x^2j=x^2fracd^2dx^2left(sum_j=0^n-1(x^2)^jright).$$
where the finite sum on the right has a closed formula that you should know (see LINK).



Can you take it from here? Please show your effort: edit your question and, below it, write about your progress toward the final answer!

How to combine Bézier curves to a surface?

圖片
Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP up vote 2 down vote favorite My aim is to smooth the terrain in a video game. Therefore I contrived an algorithm that makes use of Bézier curves of different orders. But this algorithm is defined in a two dimensional space for now. To shift it into the third dimension I need to somehow combine the Bézier curves. Given two curves in each two dimensions, how can I combine them to build a surface? I thought about something like a curve of a curve. Or maybe I could multiply them somehow. How can I combine them to cause the wanted behavior? Is there a common approach? In the image you can see the input, on the left, and the output, on the right, of the algorithm that works in a two dimensional space. For the real application there is a three dimensional input. The algorithm relays only on the adjacent tiles. Given these it will define the control points of the mentioned Bézier cur...
