Multivariate piecewise polynomials

چکیده
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 belong more to the subject of radial basis functions than in the present article. This is all the more surprising to me since I am convinced that the variational approach to splines will play a much greater role in multivariate spline theory than it did or should have in the univariate theory. Still, as there is more than enough material for a survey of multivariate piecewise polynomials, this article is restricted to this topic, as is indicated by the (changed) title.

gH-differentiable of the 2th-order functions interpolating
Fuzzy Hermite interpolation of 5th degree generalizes Lagrange interpolation by fitting a polynomial to a function f that not only interpolates f at each knot but also interpolates two number of consecutive Generalized Hukuhara derivatives of f at each knot. The provided solution for the 5th degree fuzzy Hermite interpolation problem in this paper is based on cardinal basis functions linear com...
متن کاملPiecewise Volterra filters based on the threshold decomposition operator
In this paper we report our results concerning the study of multivariate functions of threshold-decomposed signals. In particular we show that multilinear tensor forms of the decomposed signal yield a class of lters that we propose to call Piecewise Volterra Filters (PWV). A lter can be viewed as a transformation of R N ! R, where N is the number of lter taps. PWV lters partition R N using a hy...
متن کاملOn the Linear Independence of Multivariate i?-Splines. II: Complete Configurations
The first part of this paper is concerned with global characterizations of both the multivariate ß-spline and the multivariate truncated power function as smooth piecewise polynomials. In the second part of the paper we establish combinatorial criteria for the linear independence of multivariate ß-splines corresponding to certain configurations of knot sets.
متن کاملOptimized refinable enclosures of multivariate polynomial pieces
An enclosure is a two-sided approximation of a unior multivariate function by a pair of typically simpler functions such that over the domain of interest. Enclosures are optimized by minimizing the width and refined by enlarging the space . This paper develops a framework for efficiently computing enclosures for multivariate polynomials and, in particular, derives piecewise bilinear enclosures ...
