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...

B-spline functions play important roles in both mathematics and engineering. To describe a numerical method for solving the boundary value problem of linear ODE with second-order by using B-spline. First, the cubic B-spline basis functions are introduced, then we use the linear combination of cubic B-spline basis to approximate the solution. Finally, we obtain the numerical solution by solving ...

The problem of article is cubic spline-interpolation of functions having high gradient regions. It is shown that uniform grids are inefficient to be used. In case of piecewise-uniform grids, concentrated in the boundary layer, for cubic spline interpolation are announced asymptotically exact estimates on a class of functions with an exponential boundary layer. There are obtained results showing...

Bivariate cubic L1 smoothing splines are introduced. The coefficients of a cubic L1 smoothing spline are calculated by minimizing the weighted sum of the L1 norms of second derivatives of the spline and the 1 norm of the residuals of the data-fitting equations. Cubic L1 smoothing splines are compared with conventional cubic smoothing splines based on the L2 and 2 norms. Computational results fo...

The appropriateness of various numerical procedures for obtaining valid time-derivative data recently reported in the literature (Zernicke et a/., 1976: McLaughlin er al., 1977; Pezzack et u/., 1977) is discussed. A case for the use of quintic natural splines is presented. based on the smoothness of higher derivatives and flexibility in application. \‘ES; /\ . _J”P JGTc, SE=5 :;yz,s’sy = z7 ___...

There are thousands of articles published on variants of splines, including least squares cubic splines. One of the first least squares articles was de Boor and Rice [1], and a comprehensive explanatory textbook is Dierckx [2]. Unfortunately, every example in the literature and on the web of a least squares cubic spline makes use of B-splines. While B-splines have a certain elegance, they are s...

We analyze an alternative to classical Zernike fitting based on the cubic B-spline model, and compare the strengths and weaknesses of each representation over a set of different wavefronts that cover a wide range of shape complexity. The results obtained show that a Zernike low-degree polynomial expansion or a cubic B-spline with a low number of breakpoints are the best choices for fitting simp...

This paper describes a comparison of some numerical methods for solving the advection-diffusion (AD) equation which may be used to describe transport of a pollutant. The one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation is solved by using cubic splines (the natural cubic spline and a ”special” AD cubic spline) to estimate first and second derivatives, and also by solving the same problem using two s...
