An algorithmic approach to degree reduction of interval B-spline curve is presented in this paper. The curves that are useful in geometric modeling should have a relatively smooth shape and should be intuitively connected with the path of the sequence of control points. One family of curves satisfying this requirement is represented by the B-spline curves. The four fixed Kharitonov's polynomial...

The shape-adjustable curve constructed by uniform B-spline basis function with parameter is an extension of uniform B-spline curve. In this paper, we study the relation between the uniform B-spline basis functions with parameter and the B-spline basis functions. Based on the degree elevation of B-spline, we extend the uniform B-spline basis functions with parameter to ones with multiple paramet...

In this paper, we use a numerical method involving collocation method with third B-splines as basis functions for solving a class of singular initial value problems (IVPs) of Lane--Emden type equation. The original differential equation is modified at the point of singularity. The modified problem is then treated by using B-spline approximation. In the case of non-linear problems, we first line...

Asymptote is widely used in astronomy, mechanics, architecture and relevant subjects. In this paper, by analyzing the Frenet frame and the Darboux frame of a curve on the surface, the necessary and sufficient conditions for a quadrilateral boundary being asymptotic of a surface are derived. This quadrilateral is called asymptotic quadrilateral. Given corner data including positions, tangents an...

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...

The paper is concerned with computing the B-spline basis of a multi-degree spline space, namely space piecewise functions comprised polynomial segments different degrees. To this aim, we provide general method to work out matrix representation relating sought another one easier compute. This will allow us, for example, calculate multi degree starting from local Bernstein bases degrees or where ...

As we know the approximation solution of seventh order two points boundary value problems based on B-spline of degree eight has only ${cal O}(h^{2})$ accuracy and this approximation is non-optimal. In this work, we obtain an optimal spline collocation method for solving the general nonlinear seventh order two points boundary value problems. The ${cal O}(h^{8})$ convergence analysis, mainly base...

In this paper we consider spline function of general degree m which has the same area as the function does in each partition of the sub-intervals. The existence and uniqueness in general of spline functions also been studied and obtained the result. : In this paper we consider spline function of general degree, i.e.,of degree m, m=2,3,.... We first give definitions and notations. We take 0 =x 0...
