Many papers describe techniques for evaluating spline curves and surfaces. While each paper provides some theoretical or empirical evidence with which to compare techniques, there exist few global comparisons Peters94]. Also, papers describing particular algorithms often provide few details, making implementation of the technique presented diicult or impossible. This report attempts to illumina...

Quartic-Spline Collocation Methods for Fourth-Order Two-Point Boundary Value Problems Ying Zhu Master of Science Graduate Department of Computer Science University of Toronto 2001 This thesis presents numerical methods for the solution of general linear fourth-order boundary value problems in one dimension. The methods are based on quartic splines, that is, piecewise quartic polynomials with C3...

quartic non-polynomial spline function approximation in off step points is developed, for the solution of fourth-order boundary value problems. using consistency relation of such spline and suitable choice of parameter,we have obtained second, fourth and sixth orders methods. convergence analysis of sixth order method has been given. the methods are illustrated by some examples, to verify the or...

In this paper we present a method of circular arc approximation by quartic Bézier curve. Our quartic approximation method has a smaller error than previous quartic approximation methods due to the alternation of the error function of our quartic approximation. Our method yields a closed form of error so that subdivision algorithm is available, and curvaturecontinuous quartic spline under the su...

We consider the adaptive refinement of bivariate quartic C-smooth box-spline spaces on the three-directional (type-I) grid G. The polynomial segments of these box splines belong to a certain subspace of the space of quartic polynomials, which will be called the space of special quartics. Given a finite sequence (G)l=0,...,N of dyadically refined grids, we obtain a hierarchical grid by selecting...

We introduce curvature continuous regular free form surfaces with triangular control nets These surfaces are composed of quartic box spline surfaces and are piecewise polynomial multisided patches of total degree which minimize some energy integral The B ezier nets can be computed e ciently form the spline control net by some xed masks i e matrix multiplications x Introduction Most methods know...
