Expo-rational B-splines Expo-rational B-splines Expo-rational B-splines

A new type of B-spline the expo-rational B-spline is introduced. The heuristic motivation for its introduction comes from important similarities in several celebrated mathematical constructions originating in approximation theory, differential geometry and operator theory. The main result of the paper is the derivation of an Edgeworth and a steepest-descent/saddlepoint asymptotic expansion whic...

Temporal Information And Discourse Relations In Narratives: The Role Of French Connectives 'Puis' And 'Un Peu Plus Tard'

This paper deals with the way temporal connectives affect Temporal Structure as well as Discourse Structure in Narratives. It presents a contrastive study of French connectives puis (then, afterwards) and un peu plus tard (a bit later) within the framework of Segmented Discourse Representation Theory. It shows that puis is a marker of the Narration discourse relation, whereas un peu plus tard b...

Generalized Expo - Rational B - Splines

The concept of expo-rational B-spline (ERBS) was introduced in [6] where the ’superproperties’ of ERBS were studied for the first time. In 2006 the first author of the present paper proposed a framework for the generalization of ERBS, the so-called generalized ERBS (GERBS), and considered one important instance of GERBS, the so-called Euler Beta-function B-splines (BFBS) which offered a good tr...
