This paper investigates two important analytical properties of hyperbolic-polynomial penalized splines, HP-splines for short. HP-splines, obtained by combining a special type difference penalty with B-splines (HB-splines), were recently introduced the authors as generalization P-splines. HB-splines are bell-shaped basis functions consisting segments made real exponentials eαx,e−αx and linear mu...

The control of more than 20 degrees of freedom in real-time is one challenge of humanoid robotics. The control architecture of an autonomous humanoid robot often consists of two parts, namely a real-time part that has direct access to the motors or RC servos, and a non-real-time part, that controls the higher-level behaviors and sensory information processing such as vision and touch. As a resu...

‎In this paper‎, ‎firstly‎, ‎we review approximation of fuzzy functions‎ ‎by fuzzy bicubic splines interpolation and present a new approach‎ ‎based on the two-dimensional fuzzy splines interpolation and‎ ‎iterative method to approximate the solution of two-dimensional‎ ‎linear fuzzy Fredholm integral equation (2DLFFIE)‎. ‎Also‎, ‎we prove‎ ‎convergence analysis and numerical stability analysis ...

S U M M A R Y We show the numerical applicability of a multiresolution method based on harmonic splines on the 3-D ball which allows the regularized recovery of the harmonic part of the Earth’s mass density distribution out of different types of gravity data, for example, different radial derivatives of the potential, at various positions which need not be located on a common sphere. This appro...

In this paper we present a new kind of B-splines, called hyperbolic B-splines generated over the space spanned by hyperbolic functions and we use it to interpolate an arbitrary function on a set of points. Numerical tests for illustrating hyperbolic B-spline are presented.

We investigate C1-smooth univariate curvature-based cubic L1 interpolating splines in Cartesian and polar coordinates. The coefficients of these splines are calculated by minimizing the L1 norm of curvature. We compare these curvature-based cubic L1 splines with second-derivative-based cubic L1 splines and with cubic L2 splines based on the L2 norm of curvature and of the second derivative. In ...

Polynomial splines over hierarchical T-meshes (PHT-splines) have an efficient and simple local refinement algorithm, but fail to represent exactly certain complex engineering geometries. In this paper, based on the current isogeometric framework, we overcome the drawbacks of PHT-splines by extending these to Rational PHT-splines (RPHT-splines), and explore RPHT-splines as the basis for analysis...
