A method is proposed for constructing a spline curve of the Bezier type, which is continuous along with its first derivative by a piecewise polynomial function. Conditions for its existence and uniqueness are given. The constructed curve lies inside the convex hull of the control points, and the segments of the broken line connecting the control points are tangent to the curve. To construct the...

We propose a fractional spline method for solving differential equations subject to initial conditions. Using the Caputo integral and derivative have construct interpolation with polynomial coefficients. For given function, error bounds were studied stability analysis was completed. The numerical explanation provided considered using three examples. results show that function which interpolates...

This paper considers nonparametric regression to analyze longitudinal data. Some developments of nonparametric regression have been achieved for longitudinal or clustered categorical data. For exponential family distribution, Lin & Carroll [6] considered nonparametric regression for longitudinal data using GEE-Local Polynomial Kernel (LPK). They showed that in order to obtain an efficient estim...

Best L1 approximations of the Heaviside function in Chebyshev and weak-Chebyshev spaces has a Gibbs phenomenon. It has been shown in the nineties for the trigonometric polynomial [1] and polygonal line cases [2]. By mean of recent results of characterization of best L1 approximation in Chebyshev and weak-Chebyshev spaces [3] that we recall, this Gibbs phenomenon can also be evidenced in the pol...

The polynomial space H in the span of the integer translates of a box spline M admits a well-known characterization as the joint kernel of a set of homogeneous differential operators with constant coefficients. The dual space H∗ has a convenient representation by a polynomial space P, explicitly known, which plays an important role in box spline theory as well as in multivariate polynomial inte...

This paper describes an algebraic construction of bivariate interpolatory subdivision masks induced by three-directional box spline subdivision schemes. Specifically, given a three-directional box spline, we address the problem of defining a corresponding interpolatory subdivision scheme by constructing an appropriate correction mask to convolve with the three-directional box spline mask. The p...

Given a grid in R, consisting of d bi-infinite sequences of hyperplanes (possibly with multiplicities) orthogonal to the d axes of the coordinate system, we consider the spaces of tensor-product spline functions of a given degree on a multi-cell domain. Such a domain consists of finite set of cells which are defined by the grid. A piecewise polynomial function belongs to the spline space if its...

Pseudo-splines are a rich family of functions that allows the user to meet various demands for balancing polynomial reproduction (i.e., approximation power), regularity and support size. Such a family includes, as special members, B-spline functions, universally known for their usefulness in different fields of application. When replacing polynomial reproduction by exponential polynomial reprod...

Splines are piecewise polynomial functions that have certain “regularity” properties. These can be defined on all finite intervals, and intervals of the form (−∞, a], [b,∞) or (−∞,∞). We have already encountered linear splines, which are simply continuous, piecewise-linear functions. More general splines are defined similarly to the linear ones. They are labeled by three things: (1) a knot sequ...
