Abstract: The Lupaş q-Bézier curve is a generalized Bézier curve with q-integer as the shape parameter. A new
geometric evaluation algorithm for Lupaş q-Bézier curve was constructed in this paper, in which the affine
combination of two nodes in the penultimate layer of the algorithm is tangent to the curve. A new representation of the
derivative of the Lupaş q-Bézier curve was obtained using the property of algorithm, and the subdivision of curve was
realized. Particularly, a product of the shape parameters of the two subcurves produced by the subdivision of the Lupaş
q-Béziercurves was equal to the shape parameter of the original curve. Furthermore, a new geometric evaluation
algorithm of weighted Lupaş q-Bézier with an explicit matrix representation was gained.
