A new differential quadrature method based on quartic B-spline functions is introduced. The weighting coefficients are determined via a semi-explicit algorithm containing an algebraic equation system with four-band coefficient matrix. In order to validate the proposed method, the Burgers’ Equation is selected as test problem. The shock wave and the sinusoidal disturbance solutions of the Burger...

In this paper we propose a method to approximate a parametric 3 D-function by bicubic B-spline functions

We present an algorithm for fitting implicitly defined algebraic spline surfaces to given scattered data. By simultaneously approximating points and associated normal vectors, we obtain a method which is computationally simple, as the result is obtained by solving a system of linear equations. In addition, the result is geometrically invariant, as no artificial normalization is introduced. The ...

An algorithm is proposed to give a global approximation of an implicit real plane algebraic curve with rational quadratic B-spline curves. The algorithm consists of four steps: topology determination, curve segmentation, segment approximation and curve tracing. Due to the detailed geometric analysis, high accuracy of approximation may be achieved with a small number of quadratic segments. The f...

In this paper, we study polynomial spline collocation methods applied to a particular class of integral-algebraic equations of Volterra type. We analyse mixed systems of second and first kind integral equations. Global convergence and local superconvergence results are established.

The problems of determining the B–spline form of a C Pythagorean– hodograph (PH) quintic spline curve interpolating given points, and of using this form to make local modifications, are addressed. To achieve the correct order of continuity, a quintic B–spline basis constructed on a knot sequence in which each (interior) knot is of multiplicity 3 is required. C quintic bases on uniform triple kn...

A collocation procedure is developed for the linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterraintegro-differential equations, using the globally defined B-spline and auxiliary basis functions.The solutionis collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula.The error analysis of proposed numerical method is studied theoretically. Numerical results are given toil...

In this paper we prove that the degree elevation of B-spline curves can be interpreted as corner cutting process in theory. We also discover the geometric meaning of the auxiliary control points during the corner cutting. Our main idea is to gradually elevate the degree of B-spline curves one knot interval by one knot interval. To this end, a new class of basis functions, to be called bi-degree...
