In this paper, we study the estimation for generalized partially linear single-index models, where the systematic component in the model has a flexible semi-parametric form with a general link function. We propose an efficient and practical approach to estimate the single-index link function, single-index coefficients as well as the coefficients in the linear component of the model. The estimat...

We present a new method for real-time physics-based simulation supporting many different types of hyperelastic materials. Previous methods such as Position Based or Projective Dynamics are fast, but support only limited selection of materials; even classical materials such as the Neo-Hookean elasticity are not supported. Recently, Xu et al. [2015] introduced new “spline-based materials” which c...

Univariate spline discrete quasi-interpolants (abbr. dQIs) are approximation operators using B-spline expansions with coefficients which are linear combinations of discrete values of the function to be approximated. When working with nonuniform partitions, the main challenge is to find dQIs which have both good approximation orders and bounded uniform norms independent of the given partition. N...

A second-order accurate interface tracking method for the solution of incompressible Stokes flow problems with moving interfaces on a uniform Cartesian grid is presented. The interface may consist of an elastic boundary immersed in the fluid or an interface between two different fluids. The interface is represented by a cubic spline along which the singularly supported elastic or surface tensio...

In this paper, under the framework of Extended Chebyshev space, four new generalized quasi cubic trigonometric Bernstein basis functions with two shape α(t) and β(t) are constructed in a space span{1,sin2t,(1−sint)2α(t),(1−cost)2β(t)}, which includes lots previous work as special cases. Sufficient conditions concerning to guarantee construction given, three specific examples related application...
