Spline Knots and Their Control Polygons With Differing Knottedness

نویسنده

  • Carlo H. Séquin
چکیده

Spline knots based on Bézier curves or B-splines can exhibit a knot type that is different from that exhibited by its control polygon, i.e., the spline and its control polygon are not ambient isotopic. By forming composite knots from suitably designed building blocks the difference in knottedness of the two 1-manifolds can be made arbitrarily large.

A control polygon scheme for design of planar C2 PH quintic spline curves

A scheme to specify planar C2 Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) quintic spline curves by control polygons is proposed, in which the “ordinary” C2 cubic B-spline curve serves as a reference for the shape of the PH spline. The method facilitates intuitive and efficient constructions of open and closed PH spline curves, that typically agree closely with the corresponding cubic B-spline curves. The C2 PH ...

Use of Two Smoothing Parameters in Penalized Spline Estimator for Bi-variate Predictor Non-parametric Regression Model

Penalized spline criteria involve the function of goodness of fit and penalty, which in the penalty function contains smoothing parameters. It serves to control the smoothness of the curve that works simultaneously with point knots and spline degree. The regression function with two predictors in the non-parametric model will have two different non-parametric regression functions. Therefore, we...

Local Buckling of Plates Using The Spline Finite Strip Method

The spline finite strip method (S.F.S.M.) for buckling analysis of plates and plate assemblies subjected to longitudinal compression and bending, transverse compression as well as shear is described. The method allows for the boundary conditions. Local buckling coefficients of plates with different boundary conditions under compression, bending and shear are calculated. Convergence studies with...

Convergence of Integro Quartic and Sextic B-Spline interpolation

In this paper, quadratic and sextic B-splines are used to construct an approximating function based on the integral values instead of the function values at the knots. This process due to the type of used B-splines (fourth order or sixth order), called integro quadratic or sextic spline interpolation. After introducing the integro quartic and sextic B-spline interpolation, their convergence is ...

Represent Image Contents Using Curves and Chain Code

This paper presents a new approach to extracting and representing structural features of images. The approach is based on both a region-based analysis and a contour-based analysis. An image is first segmented into regions, after which an area of each region is computed using a number of bound pixels. A contour of the region is approximated by a B-spline curve to get its control polygon. A conve...
