On the existence of piecewise exponential B-splines
نویسندگان
چکیده
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the total positivity of certain connection matrices arising in piecewise exponential spline spaces. These total positivity conditions are sufficient for existence of B-splines in such spaces, but they are far from being necessary. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of B-splines in the case of piecewise exponential spline spaces with only two differential operators, which eventually leads to a necessary condition for any piecewise exponential spline spaces.

Galerkin Method for the Numerical Solution of the Advection-Diffusion Equation by Using Exponential B-splines
In this paper, the exponential B-spline functions are used for the numerical solution of the advection-diffusion equation. Two numerical examples related to pure advection in a finitely long channel and the distribution of an initial Gaussian pulse are employed to illustrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the method. Obtained results are compared with some early studies.
متن کاملAlternatives to the Exponential Spline in Tension
A general setting is given for smooth interpolating splines depending on a parameter such that as this parameter approaches infinity the spline converges to the piecewise linear interpolant. The theory includes the standard exponential spline in tension, a rational spline, and several cubic splines. An algorithm is given for one of the cubics; the parameter for this example controls the spacing...
متن کاملPiecewise L-splines of order 4: Interpolation and L2 error bounds for splines in tension
Piecewise L-splines are generalizations of L-splines, in the sense that they satisfy different differential equations in different mesh intervals. Prenter attempted in [P.M. Prenter, Piecewise L-Splines, Numer. Math. 18 (2) (1971) 243–253] to obtain results on piecewise L-splines by generalizing the results of Schultz and Varga on L-splines in [M.H. Schultz, R.S. Varga, L-Splines, Numer. Math. ...
متن کاملAnalysis of Heart Transplant Survival Data Using Generalized Additive Models
The Stanford Heart Transplant data were collected to model survival in patients using penalized smoothing splines for covariates whose values change over the course of the study. The basic idea of the present study is to use a logistic regression model and a generalized additive model with B-splines to estimate the survival function. We model survival time as a function of patient covariates an...
متن کاملTranslates of Exponential Box Splines and Their Related Spaces
Exponential box splines (SB-splines) are multivariate compactly supported functions on a regular mesh which are piecewise in a space St spanned by exponential polynomials. This space can be defined as the intersection of the kernels of certain partial differential operators with constant coefficients. The main part of this paper is devoted to algebraic analysis of the space H of all entire func...
