Asymptote is widely used in astronomy, mechanics, architecture and relevant subjects. In this paper, by analyzing the Frenet frame and the Darboux frame of a curve on the surface, the necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadrilateral boundary being asymptotic of a surface are derived. This quadrilateral is called asymptotic quadrilateral. Given corner data including positions, tangents an...

The paper introduces a new method for flexible spline fitting for copula density estimation. Spline coefficients are penalized to achieve a smooth fit. To weaken the curse of dimensionality, instead of a full tensor spline basis, a reduced tensor product based on sparse grids Zenger (1991) is used. To achieve uniform margins of the copula density, linear constraints are placed on the spline coe...

In this paper we study the sensitivity of a spline function, represented in terms of Bsplines, to perturbations of the knots. We do this by bounding the difference between a primary spline, and a secondary spline with the same B-spline coefficients, but different knots. We give a number of bounds for this difference, both local bounds and global bounds in general L-spaces. All the bounds are ba...

C-B spline can not represent semi-circle and semi-elliptical arcs precisely. This paper will discuss the nature of C-B spline’s and C-Bézier curve’s endpoints. Then, on the basis of the analysis of their characteristics and by means of adding control points to make C-B spline dominate the first and last vertices of the polygon and get tangency with the first and end sides. Thus it has given out...

In this paper, we propose a new interpolation technique using exponential B-spline, which is super-set of the Bspline. An interpolation kernel of exponential B-spline was proposed using IIR based technique by Unser. As another approach, this paper presents an exponential B-spline interpolation kernel using simple mathematics based on Fourier approximation. A high signal to noise ratio can be ac...

To de ne spline subdivision schemes for general compact sets we use the representation of spline subdivision schemes in terms of repeated averages and replace the usual average convex combination by a binary averaging operation between two compact sets introduced in and termed here the metric average These schemes are shown to converge in the Hausdor metric and to provide O h approximation x In...

Non-linear Fisher’s equations are solved by using a spline method based on B-spline in the space direction and finite difference schema in the time direction. Numerical results reveal that spline method based on Bspline is implemented and effective.

Non-parametric modeling is a method which relies heavily on data and motivated by the smoothness properties in estimating a function which involves spline and non-spline approaches. Spline approach consists of regression spline and smoothing spline. Regression spline with Bayesian approach is considered in the first step of a two-step method in estimating the structural parameters for stochasti...

Surface blending is a useful operation in geometric design for rounding sharp edges or corners. Meanwhile, NURBS has already become the de facto industrial standard in existing CAD/CAM systems. Therefore, it is required to study how to blend two B-spline surfaces. However, two arbitrary B-spline surfaces (called base surfaces) are hard to be blended with a B-spline surface (called blending surf...
