Knot insertion for Natural Splines
We derive knot insertion formulas for the B-spline basis for natural splines. We also show that this basis is totally positive and give necessary and su cient nesting conditions for uniqueness of interpolation. x
متن کاملBackward Error Analysis for Totally Positive Linear Systems
Gauss elimination applied to an n • n matrix ,4 in floating point arithmetic produces (if successful) a factorization /-U which differs from A by no more than ~ ILl ] U I, for some ~ of order n times the unit roundoff. If A is totally positive, then both computed factors /~ and U are nonnegative for sufficiently small unit roundoff and one obtains pleasantly small bounds for the perturbation in...
متن کاملThe Tropical Totally Positive Grassmannian
Tropical algebraic geometry is the geometry of the tropical semiring (R,min,+). The theory of total positivity is a natural generalization of the study of matrices with all minors positive. In this paper we introduce the totally positive part of the tropicalization of an arbitrary affine variety, an object which has the structure of a polyhedral fan. We then investigate the case of the Grassman...
متن کاملHyperbolic Knot Complements without Closed Embedded Totally Geodesic Surfaces
It is conjectured that a hyperbolic knot complement does not contain a closed embedded totally geodesic surface. In this paper, we show that there are no such surfaces in the complements of hyperbolic 3-bridge knots and double torus knots. Some topological criteria for a closed essential surface failing to be totally geodesic are given. Roughly speaking, sufficiently ‘complicated’ surfaces can ...
متن کاملGauss Interpolation Formulas and Totally Positive Kernels
This paper simplifies and generalizes an earlier result of the author's on Gauss interpolation formulas for the one-dimensional heat equation. Such formulas approximate a function at a point (x*, t*) in terms of a linear combination of its values on an initial-boundary curve in the (x, t) plane. The formulas are characterized by the requirement that they be exact for as many basis functions as ...
