By applying finite difference formula to time discretization and the cubic B-splines for spatial variable, a numerical method for solving the inverse system of Burgers equations is presented. Also, the convergence analysis and stability for this problem are investigated and the order of convergence is obtained. By using two test problems, the accuracy of presented method is verified. Additional...

There are thousands of articles published on variants of splines, including least squares cubic splines. One of the first least squares articles was de Boor and Rice [1], and a comprehensive explanatory textbook is Dierckx [2]. Unfortunately, every example in the literature and on the web of a least squares cubic spline makes use of B-splines. While B-splines have a certain elegance, they are s...

We investigate C1-smooth univariate curvature-based cubic L1 interpolating splines in Cartesian and polar coordinates. The coefficients of these splines are calculated by minimizing the L1 norm of curvature. We compare these curvature-based cubic L1 splines with second-derivative-based cubic L1 splines and with cubic L2 splines based on the L2 norm of curvature and of the second derivative. In ...

Bivariate cubic L1 smoothing splines are introduced. The coefficients of a cubic L1 smoothing spline are calculated by minimizing the weighted sum of the L1 norms of second derivatives of the spline and the 1 norm of the residuals of the data-fitting equations. Cubic L1 smoothing splines are compared with conventional cubic smoothing splines based on the L2 and 2 norms. Computational results fo...

We investigate univariate and bivariate binary subdivision schemes based on cubic B-splines with double knots. It turns out that double knots change the behaviour of a uniform cubic scheme from primal to dual. We focus on the analysis of new bivariate cubic schemes with double knots at extraordinary points. These cubic schemes produce C surfaces with the original Doo-Sabin weights.

A scheme to specify planar C2 Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) quintic spline curves by control polygons is proposed, in which the “ordinary” C2 cubic B-spline curve serves as a reference for the shape of the PH spline. The method facilitates intuitive and efficient constructions of open and closed PH spline curves, that typically agree closely with the corresponding cubic B-spline curves. The C2 PH ...

In this paper, a numerical method is proposed to approximate the numeric solutions of nonlinear Fisher's reaction– diffusion equation with modified cubic B-spline collocation method. The method is based on collocation of modified cubic B-splines over finite elements, so we have continuity of the dependent variable and its first two derivatives throughout the solution range. We apply modified cu...

The paper develops a rational bi-cubic G2 (curvature continuous) analogue of the non-uniform polynomial C2 cubic B-spline paradigm. These rational splines can exactly reproduce parts of multiple basic shapes, such as cyclides and quadrics, in one by default smoothly-connected structure. The versatility of this new tool for processing exact geometry is illustrated by conceptual design from basic...
