MINVO Basis: Finding Simplexes with Minimum Volume Enclosing Polynomial Curves
The results obtained for $n=3$ show that, for any given $3^{\text{rd}}$-degree polynomial curve, the MINVO basis is able to obtain an enclosing simplex whose volume is $2. 36$ and $254. 9$ times smaller than the ones obtained by the Bernstein and B-Spline bases, respectively.
