Abstract

In this article, we present a novel generalization of a Bézier curve that can be non-smooth. We name it the zipper fractal Bézier curve. This new curve is constructed using a class of zipper α-fractal polynomials corresponding to Bernstein basis polynomials. We establish sufficient conditions on the parameters to ensure these zipper α-fractal polynomials exhibit properties such as non-negativity, partition of unity, linear precision, and symmetry. Utilizing these properties, we show that the zipper fractal Bézier curve can achieve endpoint interpolation, symmetry, the convex-hull property, and geometric invariance. Using the zipper fractal Bézier curves, we create attractive deltoid-like, astroid-like, exoid-like, and six-leaf flower designs. Our findings have applications in various fields, including approximation theory, CAGD, computer graphics, art, and design.
