- Suppose an open uniform cubic B-spline curve Q(t),0<= t<= 1 which

- Is it possible to find a uniform cubic B-spline curve C(u)=Q(t),
- whose control points are W1,..,Wn and first and last control points
- are triple points: Q(0) = W1 = W2 = W3 and Q(1) = Wn-2 = Wn-1 = Wn
-
- No. With triple vertices, the end curve segments are line segments,
- and the next-to-the-end segments start with curvature 0.
