An efficient class of nonlinear models, constructed using cardinal B-spline (CBS) basis functions, are proposed for high tide forecasts at the Venice lagoon. Accurate short term predictions of high tides in the lagoon can easily be calculated using the proposed CBS models.

In this work, a computational method for solving nonlinear Volterra-Fredholm-Hammerestein integral equations is proposed. Compactly supported semiorthogonal cubic B-spline wavelets are employed as basis functions then collocation method is utilized to reduce the computation of integral equations to some algebraic system. The method is computationally attractive, and applications are demonstrate...

In this article we study various perturbation techniques in the context of irregular spline-type spaces. We first present the sampling problem in this general setting and prove a general result on the possibility of perturbing sampling sets. This result can be regarded as an spline-type space analogue in the spirit of Kadec’s Theorem for bandlimited functions (see [14] and [15]). We further der...

Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) is a dimension reduction technique that explains the dependence structure of a functional data set in terms of uncorrelated variables. In many applications the data are a set of smooth functions observed with error. In these cases the principal components are difficult to interpret because the estimated weight functions have a lot of variability an...

In this paper, the optimization of quantizer’s segment threshold is done. The quantizer is designed on the basis of approximative spline functions. Coefficients on which we form approximative spline functions are calculated by minimization mean square error (MSE). For coefficients determined in this way, spline functions by which optimal compressor function is approximated are obtained. For the...

Abstract In this paper we propose an approach for rapid learning an important type of fuzzy controllers To specify linguistic terms the B spline basis functions are used for input variables and fuzzy singletons for output variables Product is chosen as the fuzzy conjunction and centroid as the defuzzi cation method By appropriately designing the rule base a fuzzy logic controller can be interpr...

The Correlation Power Analysis (CPA) is probably the most used side-channel attack because it seems to fit the power model of most standard CMOS devices and is very efficiently computed. However, the Pearson correlation coefficient used in the CPA measures only linear statistical dependences where the Mutual Information (MI) takes into account both linear and nonlinear dependences. Even if ther...

In this paper, we construct compactly supported radial basis functions that satisfy optimal approximation properties. Error estimates are determined by relating these basis functions to the class of Sobolev splines. Furthermore, we derive new rates for approximation by linear combinations of nonuniform translates of the Sobolev splines. Our results extend previous work as we obtain rates for ba...
