Numerical solutions of one-dimensional heat and advection-diffusion equations are obtained by collocation method based on cubic B-spline. Usual finite difference scheme is used for time and space integrations. Cubic B-spline is applied as interpolation function. The stability analysis of the scheme is examined by the Von Neumann approach. The efficiency of the method is illustrated by some test...

In this article a simple and effective controller design is introduced for the Hammerstein systems that are identified based on observational input/output data. The nonlinear static function in the Hammerstein system is modelled using a B-spline neural network. The controller is composed by computing the inverse of the B-spline approximated nonlinear static function, and a linear pole assignmen...

For continuous probability density functions (PDFs) approximated by the B-spline basis functions, the relationships between the B-spline weights, the entropy and the mean have been analyzed in detail. It shows the different characteristics of the entropy with and without mean constraint. A minimum entropy controller subjected to mean constraint is developed by taking the performance function as...

In this paper, we propose a B-Spline Offset Feature (BSOF) for feature-driven topology optimization. The feature is inspired from the geometric morphology of worms characterized by an elongated cylindrical, bilaterally symmetric, and well-segmented body along highly deformable directrix. B-spline used to define directrix with its outward inward offsets outlining BSOF. This definition endows BSO...

Handwriting signature is an important approach for biometric personal identification. In this paper, a new method is provided to extract signature characteristic through wavelet transform. At first, a series of 4th order B-spline wavelet is constructed on the basis of B-spline function. After applying wavelet transform to each stroke, stable signature character is synthesized. The performance o...

Knot insertion is the operation of obtaining a new representation of a B-spline curve by introducing additional knot values to the defining knot vector. The new curve has control points consisting of the original control points and additional new control points corresponding to the number of new knot values. So knot insertions give additional control points which provide extra shape control wit...

In this paper we present an approximation method of quadric surface using quartic spline. Our method is based on the approximation of quadratic rational Bézier patch using quartic Bézier patch. We show that our approximation method yields G (tangent plane) continuous quartic spline surface. We illustrate our results by the approximation of helicoid-like surface.

The paper develops a rational bi-cubic G2 (curvature continuous) analogue of the non-uniform polynomial C2 cubic B-spline paradigm. These rational splines can exactly reproduce parts of multiple basic shapes, such as cyclides and quadrics, in one by default smoothly-connected structure. The versatility of this new tool for processing exact geometry is illustrated by conceptual design from basic...

Chaiken's algorithm is a procedure for inserting new knots into uniform quadratic Bspline curves by doubling the control points and taking two successive averages. Lane and Riesenfeld showed that Chaiken's algorithm extends to uniform B-spline curves of arbitrary degree. By generalizing the notion of successive averaging, we further extend Chaiken's algorithm to B-spline curves of arbitrary deg...
