Higher dimensional PH curves. (English) Zbl 1025.65016

A geometric method is introduced to construct Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curves in high dimensional Euclidian spaces. The polynomial curves are constructed from rational curves in the n-dimensional real space using two maps, the normalizer and the stereographic projection.
