The piecewise algebraic curve, as the set of zeros of a bivariate spline function, is a generalization of the classical algebraic curve. In this paper, an algorithm is presented to compute the real solutions of two piecewise algebraic curves. It is primarily based on the Krawczyk-Moore iterative algorithm and good initial iterative interval searching algorithm. The proposed algorithm is relativ...

A group-theoretic version of Dehn surgery is studied. Starting with an arbitrary relatively hyperbolic group G we define a peripheral filling procedure, which produces quotients of G by imitating the effect of the Dehn filling of a complete finite-volume hyperbolic 3-manifold M on the fundamental group π1(M). The main result of the paper is an algebraic counterpart of Thurston’s hyperbolic Dehn...

We study continuous dynamical systems defined by autonomous ordinary differential equations, themselves given by parametric rational functions. For such systems, we provide semi-algebraic descriptions of their hyperbolic and non-hyperbolic equilibria, their asymptotically stable hyperbolic equilibria, their Hopf bifurcations. To this end, we revisit various criteria on sign conditions for the r...

This paper is devoted to deformation theory of "anabelian" representations of the absolute Galois group landing in outer automorphism group of the algebraic fundamental group of a hyperbolic smooth curve defined over a number-field. In the first part of this paper, we obtained several universal deformations for Lie-algebra versions of the above representation using the Schlessinger criteria for...

The shape-adjustable curve constructed by uniform B-spline basis function with parameter is an extension of uniform B-spline curve. In this paper, we study the relation between the uniform B-spline basis functions with parameter and the B-spline basis functions. Based on the degree elevation of B-spline, we extend the uniform B-spline basis functions with parameter to ones with multiple paramet...

A computational study of five finite element methods for the solution of a single second order linear ordinary differential equation subject to general linear, separated boundary conditions is described. In each method, the approximate solution is a piecewise polynomial expressed in terms of a B-spline basis, and is determined by solving a system of linear algebraic equations with an almost blo...

Stitching or merging B-spline curves is a frequently used technique in geometric modeling, and is usually implemented in CAD-systems. These algorithms are basically numerical interpolations using the least squares method. The problem, how to replace two or more curves which are generated separately and defined as B-spline curves, has well functioning numerical solutions, therefore, relatively f...
