We present a data reduction scheme for efficient surface storage, by introducing a coefficient–based least squares spline operator that does not require any pointwise evaluation to approximate (in a lower dimension spline space) a given bivariate B–spline function. In order to define an accurate approximation of the target spline with a significant reduction of the space dimension, this operato...

This paper discusses the dimension of spline spaces S(m,n,m−1, n−1,T ) over certain type of hierarchical T-meshes. The major step is to set up a bijection between the spline space S(m,n,m− 1, n− 1,T ) and a univariate spline space whose definition depends on the l-edges of the extended T-mesh. We decompose the univariate spline space into direct sums in the sense of isomorphism using the theory...

This paper presents a novel method for converting any unstructured quadrilateral or hexahedral mesh to a generalized T-spline surface or solid T-spline, based on the rational T-spline basis functions. Our conversion algorithm consists of two stages: the topology stage and the geometry stage. In the topology stage, the input quadrilateral or hexahedral mesh is taken as the initial T-mesh. To con...

This paper is devoted to the shape control of B-spline curves achieved by the modification of one of its knot values. At first those curves are described along which the points of a B-spline curve move under the modification of a knot value. Then we show that the one-parameter family of k order B-spline curves obtained by modifying a knot value has an envelope which is also a B-spline curve of ...

In this paper the approximation of the optimal compressor function using the first-degree spline functions and quadratic spline functions is done. Coefficients on which we form approximative spline functions are determined by solving equation systems that are formed from treshold conditions. For Gaussian source at the input of the quantizer, using the obtained approximate spline functions a com...

B-spline functions play important roles in both mathematics and engineering. To describe a numerical method for solving the boundary value problem of linear ODE with second-order by using B-spline. First, the cubic B-spline basis functions are introduced, then we use the linear combination of cubic B-spline basis to approximate the solution. Finally, we obtain the numerical solution by solving ...
