Abstract. We describe and demonstrate an arrow notation for deriving box-spline subdivision schemes. We compare it with the z-transform, matrix, and mask convolution methods of deriving the same. We show how the arrow method provides a useful graphical alternative to the three numerical methods. We demonstrate the properties that can be derived easily using the arrow method: mask, stencils, con...

In this paper, we propose a new interpolation technique using exponential B-spline, which is super-set of the Bspline. An interpolation kernel of exponential B-spline was proposed using IIR based technique by Unser. As another approach, this paper presents an exponential B-spline interpolation kernel using simple mathematics based on Fourier approximation. A high signal to noise ratio can be ac...

Abstract: In this paper, we have developed parametric septic spline methods, which reduces to ordinary septic spline as the parameter τ → 0 for the numerical solution of fourth order linear and nonlinear two point boundary value problems. Using this spline function a few consistency relations are derived for computing approximations to the solution of the problem. Methods of order two, four and...

We describe and contrast several different bootstrapping procedures for penalized spline smoothers. The bootstrapping procedures considered are variations on existing methods, developed under two different probabilistic frameworks. Under the first framework, penalized spline regression is considered an estimation technique to find an unknown smooth function. The smooth function is represented i...

This paper describes a comparison of some numerical methods for solving the advection-diffusion (AD) equation which may be used to describe transport of a pollutant. The one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation is solved by using cubic splines (the natural cubic spline and a ”special” AD cubic spline) to estimate first and second derivatives, and also by solving the same problem using two s...

We investigate the possibility of applying approximation methods to the famous Muskhelishvili equation on a simple closed smooth curve Γ. Since the corresponding integral operator is not invertible the initial equation has to be corrected in a special way. It is shown that the spline Galerkin, spline collocation and spline qualocation methods for the corrected equation are stable, and the corre...

Colonic polyps are growths on the inner wall of the colon. They appear like elliptical protrusions which can be detected by curvature-derived shape discriminators. For reasons of computation efficiency, much of the past work in computeraided diagnostic CT colonography adopted kernel-based convolution methods in curvature estimation. However, kernel methods can yield erroneous results at thin st...
