On Smooth Multivariate Spline Functions
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the dimensions of bivariate spline spaces with simple cross-cut grid partitions are determined and expressions of their basis functions are given. Consequently, the closures of these spaces over all partitions of the same type can be determined. A somewhat more detailed study on bivariate splines with rectangular grid partitions is included. The results in this paper can be applied to problems on interpolation and approximation by bivariate spline functions.

The Multivariate Spline Method for Scattered Data Fitting and Numerical Solutions of Partial Differential Equations
Multivariate spline functions are smooth piecewise polynomial functions over triangulations consisting of n-simplices in the Euclidean space IR. A straightforward method for using these spline functions to fit given scattered data and numerically solve elliptic partial differential equations is presented . This method does not require constructing macro-elements or locally supported basis funct...
متن کاملThe limit at the origin of a smooth function space
The map H → H↓ assigns to each finite-dimensional space of smooth functions a homogeneous polynomial space of the same dimension. We discuss applications of this map in the areas of multivariate polynomial interpolation, box spline theory and polynomial ideals. §
متن کاملMultivariate piecewise polynomials
This article was supposed to be on `multivariate splines'. An informal survey, taken recently by asking various people in Approximation Theory what they consider to be a `multivariate spline', resulted in the answer that a multivariate spline is a possibly smooth, piecewise polynomial function of several arguments. In particular, the potentially very useful thin-plate spline was thought to belo...
متن کاملAn Adaptive Expansion Method for Regression
This article describes a new non-parametric regression method that extends additive regression techniques to allow modeling of interactions among predictor variables. The proposed models consist of sums of smooth functions of one or more predictor variables. Each term involving more than one predictor is assumed to be a composition of bivariate functions of simpler terms in the model. The metho...
متن کاملINTERPOLATION BY HYPERBOLIC B-SPLINE FUNCTIONS
In this paper we present a new kind of B-splines, called hyperbolic B-splines generated over the space spanned by hyperbolic functions and we use it to interpolate an arbitrary function on a set of points. Numerical tests for illustrating hyperbolic B-spline are presented.
