Hello!
I have an equation (sphere and cubic Bézier curve intersection points): B(t) ⋅ B(t) = r², where dot means vector dot product.
B(t) is a cubic Bézier curve:
B(t) = (1 − t)³ ⋅ P0 + 3t ⋅ (1 − t)² ⋅ P1 + 3t² ⋅ (1 − t) ⋅ P2 + t³ ⋅ P3, 0 ≤ t ≤ 1
P0, P1, P2, P3 are some known points, к is some known value too.
Is it possible to solve this using SMath while keeping constants as letters?

Please attach your Smath document.
Bézier/Hermite ... lot in Smath.
Cheers ... Jean.

Well, not much in there, I don't know how to write the equation in it. I am new to SMath, and used only MathCAD a few times, like, 13-14 years ago...

You must use Symbolic evaluation to solve your equation, additionally, you can use some plugin for this task (in my case I used the Maxima plugin).

All those kind of symbolic solvings require either Maxima or Maple plugin as far as I know.
Every other smath solvers [solve(), roots(), FindRoot(), al_nleqsolve(), etc] are numerical solvers.
Could someone correct this statement if it is not true?

Regards

yes, that's correct, you can check the description of solve(), roots(), al_nleqsolve(), etc on the Interactive SMath Handbook

Hi. In the attached how to solve the problem numerically. Notice that B(t) must to be defined using vectorize, because SMath don't expand the scalar by vector products.

There is missing «²» after second parentheses in your file. And I downloaded SMath and Maxima, but when I open your file, I get an error: «Cannot find maxima.bat».

OK, I've fixed the error, but now it says: «r is undefined». Sorry, it's really hard to understand what to do and I can't find any proper docs about it...

Thank you! But what should I do with «r is undefined»? 🤔

Are you sure you are using the option "Symbolic Optimization"?

You must right-click over your equation, then choose Optimization-Symbolic

Thank you very much! It worked! However, the roots are so long... Not sure I can use them... Thanks anyway! 😊

Hi. Notice that P0, ..., P3 are vectors with 3 components, not scalars. You can't get the distance with B(t).B(t) using P's as scalars.

Best regards.
Alvaro.

Didn't see the sphere ?
Bézier is a 2 D plot
I don't understand your project, will leave.
You can project Bézier as surface plot on the sphere,
at this point, all 'N' are roots.
Enjoy/ignore ... Jean.

Not related with topic. Nice example to Bezier however no relation with question.
Seeing Bezier in question doesn't mean you can search your files and post your first match Bezier example.
