Positivity Preserving Interpolation of Positive Data by Rational Quadratic Trigonometric Spline
In Computer Aided Geometric Design it is often needed to produce a positivity preserving curve according to the given positive data. The main focus of this work is to visualize the positive data in such a way that its display looks smooth and pleasant. A rational quadratic trigonometric spline function with three shape parameters has been developed. In the description of the rational quadratic ...
متن کاملShape Preserving Interpolation Using C2 Rational Cubic Spline
Abstract: This study proposes new C rational cubic spline interpolant of the form cubic/quadratic with three shape parameters to preserves the geometric properties of the given data sets. Sufficient conditions for the positivity and data constrained modeling of the rational interpolant are derived on one parameter while the remaining two parameters can further be utilized to change and modify t...
متن کاملGeometric Hermite interpolation with maximal orderand smoothness
We conjecture that splines of degree n can interpolate points on a smooth curve in R m with order of contact k ? 1 = n ? 1 + b(n ? 1)=(m ? 1)c at every n-th knot. Moreover, this Geometric Hermite Interpolant (GHI) has the optimal approximation order k + 1. We give a proof of this conjecture for planar quadratic spline curves and describe a simple construction of curvature continuous quadratic s...
متن کاملINTERPOLATION BY HYPERBOLIC B-SPLINE FUNCTIONS
In this paper we present a new kind of B-splines, called hyperbolic B-splines generated over the space spanned by hyperbolic functions and we use it to interpolate an arbitrary function on a set of points. Numerical tests for illustrating hyperbolic B-spline are presented.
متن کاملC Rational Cubic/Linear Trigonometric Interpolation Spline with Positivity-preserving Property
A class of C rational cubic/linear trigonometric interpolation spline with two local parameters is proposed. Simple sufficient conditions for constructing positivity-preserving interpolation curves are developed. By using the boolean sum of quadratic trigonometric interpolating operators to blend together the proposed rational cubic/linear trigonometric interpolation splines as four boundary fu...
