B-spline scaling functions and wavelets have found wide applicability in many scientific and practical problems thanks to their unique properties. They show considerably better results in comparison to other wavelets, and they are used as well in mathematical approximations, signal processing, image compression, etc. But only the first four wavelets from this family were mathematically formulat...

Spline quasi-interpolants are local approximating operators for functions or discrete data. We consider the construction of discrete and integral spline quasi-interpolants on uniform partitions of the real line having small infinite norms. We call them near minimally normed quasi-interpolants: they are exact on polynomial spaces and minimize a simple upper bound of their infinite norms. We give...

For many design applications, where multiple primary surface pieces meet, the distribution of curvature is more important than formally achieving exact curvature continuity. For parametric spline surfaces, when constructing a multi-sided surface cap, we demonstrate a strong link between the uniform variation of the re-parameterization between (boundary) data of the joining pieces and a desirabl...

This paper presents a physics-based approach to surface reconstruction using an elastically deformable \sheet" model. The model is based on a thin-plate under tension spline which deforms to t visual data according to internal forces stemming from the elastic properties of the surface and external forces which are produced from the data. We employ the nite element method to represent the model ...

The behavior of the non-linear-coupled systems arising in axially symmetric hydromagnetics flow between two horizontal plates in a rotating system is analyzed, where the lower is a stretching sheet and upper is a porous solid plate. The equations of conservation of mass and momentum are transformed to a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations. These equations for the velocit...

Numerical solutions of the coupled Klein-Gordon-Schrödinger equations is obtained by using differential quadrature methods based on polynomials and quintic B-spline functions for space discretization and RungeKutta fourth order for time discretization. Stability of the schemes are studied using matrix stability analysis. The accuracy and efficiency of the methods are shown by conducting some nu...
