  • @LugieBaird I think the speed of a rocket is nowhere near the speed of light, so in fact the effects of relativity are negligible in this example

  • Setting a_1=0 is a good choice here, because the mass of the rocket changes less, on a relative basis, during the first interval. This means that the acceleration would be closest to linear in this segment, justifying the choice of the first segment for setting a=0. I'd wager setting a=0 in the last segment would be a poorer choice.

    What about adapting deBoor's "not a knot" criterion here? It could be done by using a_1 - a_2 = 0 as the 15th equation, making the first two segments into one.

  • great, thanks from germany!

  • you really covered a lot of stuff in a very clear way, thanks

  • Astounded how much ground you covered in such a short time but I didn't feel like it was at all rushed. You got quite a lot of information out of the splines! I wish you had more material on splines, but you've given me a great introduction to them, and for that I'm very grateful.

  • thank you! excellent example!

  • please let me know, this method can be used for 3-dimension. Thank you!

  • Very clear introduction! Thank you!
