Construction of spline functions in spreadsheets to smooth experimental data
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental data are often in need of smoothing without a pre-determined trend line equation. This manuscript demonstrates how spreadsheet software can be programmed to smooth experimental data via cubic splines. Once the trend lines (splines) have been constructed, it is also simple to interpolate values and calculate derivatives and integrals. The formulas to carry out the calculation are listed and explained in the manuscript. 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

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...
متن کاملConstruction of normalized B-splines for a family of smooth spline spaces over Powell-Sabin triangulations
We construct a suitable B-spline representation for a family of bivariate spline functions with smoothness r ≥ 1 and polynomial degree 3r − 1. They are defined on a triangulation with PowellSabin refinement. The basis functions have a local support, they are nonnegative and they form a partition of unity. The construction involves the determination of triangles that must contain a specific set ...
متن کاملSmooth Fractal Interpolation
Fractal methodology provides a general frame for the understanding of real-world phenomena. In particular, the classical methods of real-data interpolation can be generalized by means of fractal techniques. In this paper, we describe a procedure for the construction of smooth fractal functions, with the help of Hermite osculatory polynomials. As a consequence of the process, we generalize any s...
متن کاملA family of smooth quasi-interpolants defined over Powell-Sabin triangulations
We investigate the construction of local quasi-interpolation schemes for a family of bivariate spline functions with smoothness r ≥ 1 and polynomial degree 3r−1. These splines are defined on triangulations with Powell-Sabin refinement, and they can be represented in terms of locally supported basis functions which form a convex partition of unity. Using the blossoming technique, we first derive...
متن کامل3D Reconstruction Using Cubic Bezier Spline Curves and Active Contours (Case Study)
Introduction 3D reconstruction of an object from its 2D cross-sections (slices) has many applications in different fields of sciences such as medical physics and biomedical engineering. In order to perform 3D reconstruction, at first, desired boundaries at each slice are detected and then using a correspondence between points of successive slices surface of desired object is reconstructed. Mate...
