Müntz Systems and Orthogonal Müntz - Legendre Polynomials

The Müntz-Legendre polynomials arise by orthogonalizing the Müntz system {xxo, xx¡, ...} with respect to Lebesgue measure on [0, 1]. In this paper, differential and integral recurrence formulae for the Müntz-Legendre polynomials are obtained. Interlacing and lexicographical properties of their zeros are studied, and the smallest and largest zeros are universally estimated via the zeros of Lague...

Algorithms on cone spline surfaces and spatial osculating arc splines

Developable surfaces are of considerable importance to many industry applications, e.g. sheet metal forming processes. The objective of this paper is to provide algorithms on the approximation of developable surfaces with pieces of right circular cones. Special emphasis is devoted to practical choices of free parameters and to error estimation. Furthermore, a new algorithm for the approximation...

On Smooth Multivariate Spline Functions

In this paper the dimensions of bivariate spline spaces with simple cross-cut grid partitions are determined and expressions of their basis functions are given. Consequently, the closures of these spaces over all partitions of the same type can be determined. A somewhat more detailed study on bivariate splines with rectangular grid partitions is included. The results in this paper can be applie...
