In this paper we construct a family of divergence-free multiwavelets. The construction follows Lemari e's procedure. In the process we nd multiresolution analyses (MRA) related by diierentiation and integration to a family of biorthogonal MRAs constructed by Hardin and Marasovich. The multiscaling and multiwavelets constructed have symmetries and support properties which allow us to obtain bior...

In [4] the first named author discussed the explicit solutions of the cubic spline interpolation problems. We are now concerned with quintic spline functions. Let 5B[0, n] denote the class of quintic spline functions S(x) defined in the interval [0, n] and having the points 0, 1, • • • , n — 1 as knots. This means that the restriction of S(x) to the interval (*>, J > + 1 ) (P = 0, • • • , n — \...

A new class of Smooth Transition Autoregressive models, based on cubic spline type transition functions, has been introduced and subjected to comparison with models based on the traditional logistic transition functions. A very high degree of similarity between the two model classes has been demonstrated. The new class of models can be slightly preferable because of its more simple formal and g...

We describe an algorithm that generates a smooth trajectory (position, velocity, and acceleration at uniformly sampled instants of time) for a car-like vehicle autonomously navigating within the constraints of lanes in a road. The technique models both vehicle paths and lane segments as straight line segments and circular arcs for mathematical simplicity and elegance, which we contrast with cub...

In this article, using non-polynomial cubic spline we develop the classes of methods for the numerical solution of singularly perturbed two-point boundary-value problems. The purposed methods are secondorder and fourth-order accurate and applicable to problems both in singular and non-singular cases.Numerical results are given to illustrate the efficiency of our methods and compared with the me...

A piecewise rational cubic spline [5] has been used to visualize the positive data in its natural form. The spline representation is interpolatory and applicable to the scalar valued data. The shape parameters in the description of a rational cubic have been constrained in such a way that they preserve the shape of the positive data in the view of positive curve. As far as visual smoothness is ...

In this paper we construct IR n-valued biorthogonal, compactly supported multiwavelet families such that one of the biorthogo-nal pairs consists of divergence-free vector wavelets. The construction is based largely on Lemari e's idea of multiresolution analyses intertwined by diierentiation. We show that this technique extends nontrivially to multiwavelets via Strela's two-scale transform. An e...

An algorithm for finding a smooth, obstacle-avoiding curve in the plane can be quite complicated. The process usually involves finding one or more feasible polyline paths, choosing a desirable path (for example the shortest path), and smoothing the polyline path to give a curve that avoids the obstacles. This paper is concerned with the last stage in the process; it assumes the existence of an ...

In the note, we prove that additive Schwarz type preconditioner is applicable to the nested finite dimensional subspaces generated by Hermite cubic splines for the second order elliptic problem. It is shown that the preconditioned system is well conditioned.

The recursive median filter is used to improve the structure of the output of the key finding algorithm for establishing tonal contexts of musical patterns in a musical composition. This is subsequently incorporated into a system for recognition of musical patterns. Krumhansl’s key-finding algorithm is used as a basis. The sequence of maximum correlations that it outputs is smoothed with a cubi...
