Div-Curl weighted thin plate splines approximation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper deals with Div-Curl approximation problem by weighted thin plate splines. The weighted thin plate splines are an extension of the well known thin plate splines and are radial basis functions which allow the approximation and interpolation of a scalar functions from a given scattered data. We show how the weighted thin plate splines may also be used for the approximation and interpolation of a vectorial fields controlled by the divergence and the Curl of a vectorial fields. Numerical examples are given to show the efficiency of this method.

Pseudo-polyharmonic div-curl splines and elastic splines
Vector field reconstruction is a problem that arises in many scientific applications. In this paper we study a div-curl approximation of vector fields by pseudo-polyharmonic splines and elastic splines. This leads to the variational smoothing and interpolating spline problems with minimization of an energy involving the rotational and the divergence of the vector field.

Vector field approximation is a problem involving the reconstruction of physical fields from a set of scattered observed data. In this paper, we address the problem of interpolation of divergence-free vector fields in three dimensional space by thin plate spline under tension. The problem is formulated as a minimization problem where the cost is related to the equilibrium energy of thin plate w...
متن کاملWeighted-Norm First-Order System Least-Squares (FOSLS) for Div/Curl Systems with Three Dimensional Edge Singularities
A weighted-norm first-order system least-squares (FOSLS) method for div/curl problems with edge singularities is presented. Traditional finite element methods, including least-squares methods, often suffer from a global loss of accuracy due to the influence of a nonsmooth solution near polyhedral edges. By minimizing a modified least-squares functional, optimal accuracy in weighted and non-weig...
متن کاملFinite Element Thin Plate Splines for Data Mining Applications
Thin plate splines have been used successfully to model curves and surfaces. A new application is in data mining where they are used to model interaction terms. These interaction splines break the \curse of dimensionality" by reducing the high-dimensional nonparametric regression problem to the determination of a set of interdependent surfaces. However, the determination of the corresponding th...
متن کاملA Comparison of Thin Plate and Spherical Splines with Multiple Regression
Thin plate and spherical splines are nonparametric methods suitable for spatial data analysis. Thin plate splines acquire efficient practical and high precision solutions in spatial interpolations. Two components in the model fitting is considered: spatial deviations of data and the model roughness. On the other hand, in parametric regression, the relationship between explanatory and response v...
