Approximation order of bivariate spline interpolation for arbitrary smoothness

By using the algorithm of Nfimberger and Riessinger (1995), we construct Hermite interpolation sets for spaces of bivariate splines Sq(d 1 ) of arbitrary smoothness defined on the uniform type triangulations. It is shown that our Hermite interpolation method yields optimal approximation order for q >~ 3.5r + 1. In order to prove this, we use the concept of weak interpolation and arguments of Bi...

Bivariate Rational Spline Surface

This paper is concerned with the nonnegativity preserving interpolation of data on rectangular grids. The function is a kind of bivariate rational interpolation spline with parameters, which is C1 in the whole interpolation region. Sufficient conditions are derived on coefficients in the rational spline to ensure that the surfaces are always nonnegative if the original data are nonnegative. The...

Spaces of Bivariate Spline

We consider the spaces of bivariate C-splines of degree k deened over arbitrary triangulations of a polygonal domain. We get an explicit formula for the dimension of such spaces when k 3 + 2 and construct a local supported basis for them. The dimension formula is valid for any polygonal domain even it is complex connected , and the formula is sharp since it arrives at the lower-bound which is g...

Bivariate Spline Method for

Optimized Spline Interpolation

In this paper, we investigate the problem of designing compact support interpolation kernels for a given class of signals. By using calculus of variations, we simplify the optimization problem from an infinite nonlinear problem to a finite dimensional linear case, and then find the optimum compact support function that best approximates a given filter in the least square sense (l2 norm). The be...
