چکیده

Cubic splines were fitted to the maxillary dental arches of 27 children with permanent dentitions, all having Class I molar, cuspid, and buccal segment relationships. A set ofdata points was chosen to represent arch form, and of these points, five were used as knots of the spline. Error of the fit of the curve was evaluated through the analysis of normals to the curve computed from those points not used as knots. Analysis demonstrates that the errors are minimal, and the spline function appears to adequately represent either symmetric or asymmetric dental arch forms.

Application of linear combination between cubic B-spline collocation methods with different basis for solving the KdV equation

In the present article, a numerical method is proposed for the numerical solution of the KdV equation by using a new approach by combining cubic B-spline functions. In this paper we convert the KdV equation to system of two equations. The method is shown to be unconditionally stable using von-Neumann technique. To test accuracy the error norms L2, L∞ are computed. Three invariants of motion are...

Piecewise cubic interpolation of fuzzy data based on B-spline basis functions

In this paper fuzzy piecewise cubic interpolation is constructed for fuzzy data based on B-spline basis functions. We add two new additional conditions which guarantee uniqueness of fuzzy B-spline interpolation.Other conditions are imposed on the interpolation data to guarantee that the interpolation function to be a well-defined fuzzy function. Finally some examples are given to illustrate the...
