The numerical stability of the polynomial spline collocation method for general Volterra integro-differential equation is being considered. The convergence and stability of the newmethod are given and the efficiency of the newmethod is illustrated by examples. We also proved the conjecture suggested by Danciu in 1997 on the stability of the polynomial spline collocation method for the higher-or...

This article presents uniform B-spline interpolation, completely contained on the graphics processing unit (GPU). This implies that the CPU does not need to compute any lookup tables or B-spline basis functions. The cubic interpolation can be decomposed into several linear interpolations [Sigg and Hadwiger 05], which are hard-wired on the GPU and therefore very fast. Here it is demonstrated tha...

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...

The present article is concerned with the numerical solution of Benjamin-BonaMahony-Burgers (BBM-Burger) equation by quartic B-spline collocation method. The method is based on quartic B-spline basis functions for space integration, and Crank-Nicolson formulation for time integration. Numerical examples considered by different researchers are discussed to illustrate the efficiency, robustness a...

An algorithm is presented that constructs a C 2-continuous B-spline quaternion curve which interpolates a given sequence of unit quaternions on the rotation group SO(3). The de Casteljau type construction method of B-spline curves can be extended to generate B-spline quaternion curves Sch92]; however, the B-spline quaternion curves do not have C 2-continuity in SO(3). The authors KKS94a] recent...

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...

Crown simulation based on basis spline (b-spline) interpolation is a compatible method to simulate tree polymorphism at present. However, there are two problems when it simulates the crown: first problem that derivative value top point needs be given manually, and second type of collected equidistantly. To solve above realize convenient accurate simulation, this study took Chinese fir as object...

Collocation methods based on quartic splines are presented for second-order two-point boundary value problems. In order to obtain a uniquely solvable linear system for the degrees of freedom of the quartic spline collocation approximation, in addition to the boundary conditions specified by the problem, extra boundary or near-boundary conditions are introduced. Non-optimal (fourth-order) and op...

In this paper a general theory for interpolation methods on a rectangular grid is introduced. By the use of this theory an efficient B-spline-based interpolation method for spectral codes is presented. The theory links the order of the interpolation method with its spectral properties. In this way many properties like order of continuity, order of convergence, and magnitude of errors can be exp...
