The comprehensive numerical study has been made here for the solution of One dimensional heat equation the Finite Element method is adopted for the solution with B-spline basis function the important finding of the present study is to understand the basics behind the FEM method while the B-spline basis function come into the picture here the solution is made using Quadratic B-spline and Cubic B...

The natural frequencies of non-uniform beams resting on elastic foundations are numerically obtained using the spline collocation procedure. The spline collocation method is a numerical approach effective at solving partial differential equations. The boundary conditions that accompanied the spline collocation procedure were used to convert the partial differential equations of non-uniform beam...

This paper proposesa new class of unit quaternion curves in SO(3). A general method is developed that transforms a curve in R3 (defined as a weighted sum of basis functions) into its unit quaternion analogue in SO(3). Applying the method to well-known spline curves (such as Bézier, Hermite, and B-spline curves), we are able to construct various unit quaternion curves which share many important ...

In the present paper, a numerical algorithm using fifth degree quintic B-spline for fourth order singular perturbation problem has been developed. The most of the numerical methods used for higher order singularly perturbed boundary value problems transform the problems into equivalent system of first and/or second order differential equations. However, in the present method, fifth degree B-spl...

Variational formulations of three fourth order geometric partial differential equations are derived, and based on which mixed finite element methods are presented for constructing G smooth B-spline surfaces. Solutions to several surface modeling problems, including surface fairing, free-form surface design, surface blending and hole filling with G continuity, are handled by this approach. Exper...

We use the bivariate spline method to solve the steady state Navier-Stokes equations numerically. The bivariate spline we use in this paper is the space of splines of smoothness r and degree 3r over triangulated quadrangu-lations. The stream function formulation for the steady state Navier-Stokes equations is employed. Galerkin's method is applied to the resulting nonlinear fourth order equatio...

In this paper, parametric spline method is introduced for solving Bratu’s problem. The convergence analysis of the presented method is discussed. The method is illustrated with two numerical examples and the results show that the method converges rapidly and approximates the exact solution very accurately.

A measurement method of the three-dimensional electromagnetic articulograph system is presented to investigate the dynamic behavior of articulatory organs which can include lateral or rotational movements. To accurately represent the spatial pattern of the magnetic field, we use a multivariate B-spline function, which smoothly interpolates a given set of calibration data samples. The strength o...

Quasi-hierarchical Powell-Sabin splines are C-continuous quadratic splines defined on a locally refined hierarchical triangulation. They admit a compact representation in a normalized B-spline basis. We prove that the quasi-hierarchical basis is in general weakly Lpstable, but for a broad class of hierarchical triangulations it is even strongly Lp-stable.
