Abstract: This study proposes new C rational cubic spline interpolant of the form cubic/quadratic with three shape parameters to preserves the geometric properties of the given data sets. Sufficient conditions for the positivity and data constrained modeling of the rational interpolant are derived on one parameter while the remaining two parameters can further be utilized to change and modify t...

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...

Uniform cubic B-spline functions have been used for mapping functions in various areas such as image warping and morphing, 3D deformation, and volume morphing. The injectivity (one-to-one property) of a mapping function is important to obtain good results in these areas. This paper considers the local injectivity conditions of 2D and 3D uniform cubic B-spline functions. We propose a geometric i...

Every curve or surface can be defined by a set of parametric functions. For instance, (x,y,z) coordinates of the points of the curve can be given by:) (), (), (t Z z t Y y t X x = = = t being the parameter and X, Y, Z being polynomial functions in t. If X, Y and Z are 1 st degree polynomials, a line segment will be defined. In that case, two knowns only (i.e. two points or a point and a slope) ...

The aim of this paper is to provide a quantitative comparison of eight different 0 1 and 0 2 cubic spline interpolation schemes. The 0 1 schemes discussed are local while the 0 2 ones are global. In practice cubic splines are often used when the smoothness of the function being interpolated/approximated is unknown. Also it is often necessary, or advantageous, to use a nonuniform mesh. Therefore...

Based on the local refinement algorithm addressed in [18], we analyze the linear independence of the bi-cubic T-spline blending functions corresponding to particular T-meshes.

Wave equation is one of the second order linear hyperbolic equation. Telegraph as a special case wave has interesting point to investigate in numerical view. In this paper, we consider methods for dimensional telegraph by using cubic B-spline collocation method. Collocation method solve partial differential model problem. Cubic spline interpolation an third polynomial. This polynomial interpola...

We have developed a three level implicit method for solution of the Helmholtz equation. Using the cubic spline in space and finite difference in time directions. The approach has been modied to drive Numerov type nite difference method. The method yield the tri-diagonal linear system of algebraic equations which can be solved by using a tri-diagonal solver. Stability and error estimation of the...
