In this research, second order linear two-point boundary value problems are treated using new method based on hybrid cubic B-spline. The values of the free parameter,Gamma , chosen via optimization. parameter plays an important role in giving accurate results. Optimization is carried out. This tested four examples and a comparison with B-spline, trigonometric B-spline extended methods has been ...

In this thesis, we propose to analyze panel count data using a spline-based sieve generalized estimating equation method with a semiparametric proportional mean model E(N(t)|Z) = Λ0 (t) e T 0 Z . The natural log of the baseline mean function, logΛ0 (t), is approximated by a monotone cubic B-spline function. The estimates of regression parameters and spline coefficients are the roots of the spli...

B-spline filter kernals have proved useful in many pixel sampling applications. A cubic B-spline filter kernal, having a width of four pixels, is particularly effective. In distribution ray tracing, pixel filters are evaluated implicitly by having the density of sampling proportional to the filter value. In this work we present a simple method to generate random samples having an underlying B-s...

We present a new multivariate spline using mixed partial derivatives. We show the existence and uniqueness of the proposed multivariate spline problem, and propose a simple finite element approximation.

In this paper we study penalized regression splines (P-splines), which are low–order basis function splines with a penalty to avoid undersmoothing. Such P–splines are typically not spatially adaptive, and hence can have trouble when functions are varying rapidly. While frequentist methods are available to address this issue, no Bayesian techniques have been developed. Our approach is to model t...

An automatic algorithm for fairing B-spline curves of general order is presented. This work was motivated by a method of Farin and Sapidis about fairing planar cubic B-spline curves by subsequently removing and reinserting knots. Instead our new algorithm is based on the idea of subsequently changing one control point of a given B-spline curve so that the new curve minimizes the integral of the...

Based on analysis of cubic spline interpolation, the differentiation formulas of the cubic spline interpolation on the three boundary conditions are put up forward in this paper. At last, this calculation method is illustrated through an example. The numerical results show that the spline numerical differentiations are quite effective for estimating first and higher derivatives of equally and u...

The cubic spline interpolation method, the Runge–Kutta method, and the Newton–Raphson method are extended to dual versions (developed in the context of dual numbers). This extension allows the calculation of the derivatives of complicated compositions of functions which are not necessarily defined by a closed form expression. The code for the algorithms has been written in Fortran and some exam...
