The aim of the present paper is to present a numerical algorithm for the time-dependent generalized regularized long wave equation with boundary conditions. We semi-discretize the continuous problem by means of the Crank–Nicolson finite difference method in the temporal direction and exponential B-spline collocation method in the spatial direction. The method is shown to be unconditionally stab...

A collocation procedure is developed for the linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterraintegro-differential equations, using the globally defined B-spline and auxiliary basis functions.The solutionis collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula.The error analysis of proposed numerical method is studied theoretically. Numerical results are given toil...

In this paper we prove that the degree elevation of B-spline curves can be interpreted as corner cutting process in theory. We also discover the geometric meaning of the auxiliary control points during the corner cutting. Our main idea is to gradually elevate the degree of B-spline curves one knot interval by one knot interval. To this end, a new class of basis functions, to be called bi-degree...

In this paper, we discuss the B-spline wavelets introduced by Chui and Wang in [1]. The definition for B-spline wavelet packets is proposed along with the corresponding dual wavelet packets. The properties of B-spline wavelet packets are also investigated.

This paper introduces a kind of new wavelet radiosity method called multiresolution B-spline radiosity, which uses B-splines of different scales to represent radiosity distribution functions. A set of techniques and algorithms, such as function extrapolation, adaptive quadrature, scale adjustment and octree, are proposed to implement it. This method sets up hierarchical structures on surfaces, ...

This paper describes an unbounded resolution paint system. The image is represented using a bi-orthogonal wavelet basis. The wavelet framework makes it possible to implement the necessary multiscale image operations in an efficient manner and without artifacts. This approach has also many other advantages, including conciseness of the representation. The architecture of the unbounded resolution...

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 ...

The Stanford Heart Transplant data were collected to model survival in patients using penalized smoothing splines for covariates whose values change over the course of the study. The basic idea of the present study is to use a logistic regression model and a generalized additive model with B-splines to estimate the survival function. We model survival time as a function of patient covariates an...

A prescription for constructing dictionaries for cardinal spline spaces on a compact interval is provided. It is proved that such spaces can be spanned by dictionaries which are built by translating a prototype B-spline function of fixed support into the knots of the required cardinal spline space. This implies that cardinal spline spaces on a compact interval can be spanned by dictionaries of ...
