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...

Non-uniform B-spline dictionaries on a compact interval are discussed. For each given partition, dictionaries of B-spline functions for the corresponding spline space are constructed. It is asserted that, by dividing the given partition into subpartitions and joining together the bases for the concomitant subspaces, slightly redundant dictionaries of Bsplines functions are obtained. Such dictio...

A new O(n) algorithm is given for evaluating univariate polynomials of degree n in the P olya basis. Since the Lagrange, Bernstein, and monomial bases are all special instances of the P olya basis, this technique leads to e cient evaluation algorithms for these special bases. For the monomial basis, this algorithm is shown to be equivalent to Horner's rule. 1 P olya basis functions Let nk(t) be...

Radial Basis Functions (RBF) have found a wide area of applications. We consider the case of polyharmonic RBF (called sometimes polyharmonic splines) where the data are on special grids of the form Z× aZn having practical importance. The main purpose of the paper is to consider the behavior of the polyharmonic interpolation splines Ia on such grids for the limiting process a → 0, a > 0. For a l...

The Isogeometric Analysis (IA) method is applied for structural topology optimization instead of the finite element method. For this purpose, the material density is considered as a continuous function throughout the design domain and approximated by the Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) basis functions. The coordinates of control points which are also used for constructing the density func...

This paper presents a new approach and methodology to solve the second-order one-dimensional hyperbolic telegraph equation with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions using the cubic trigonometric B-spline collocation method. The usual finite difference scheme is used to discretize the time derivative. The cubic trigonometric B-spline basis functions are utilized as an interpolating function...

SOLVING DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH LEAST SQUARE AND COLLOCATION METHODS by Katayoun Bodouhi Kazemi Dr. Xin Li, Examination Committee Chair Associate Professor of Mathematics University of Nevada, Las Vegas In this work, we first discuss solving differential equations by Least Square Methods (LSM). Polynomials are used as basis functions for first-order ODEs and then B-spline basis are introduc...

This paper concerns the fast evaluation of radial basis functions. It describes the mathematics of hierarchical and fast multipole methods for fast evaluation of splines of the form

We prove that the dimension of trivariate tensor-product spline space of tri-degree (m,m,m) with maximal order of smoothness over a threedimensional domain coincides with the number of tensor-product B-spline basis functions acting effectively on the domain considered. A domain is required to belong to a certain class. This enables us to show that, for a certain assumption about the configurati...
