Abstract: The aim of this paper is to provide a realistic stochastic trajectory generation method for unmanned aerial vehicles that offers a tool for the emulation of trajectories in typical flight scenarios. Three scenarios are defined in this paper. The trajectories for these scenarios are implemented with quintic B-splines that grant smoothness in the second-order derivatives of Euler angles...

This paper presents a physics-based approach to surface reconstruction using an elastically deformable \sheet" model. The model is based on a thin-plate under tension spline which deforms to t visual data according to internal forces stemming from the elastic properties of the surface and external forces which are produced from the data. We employ the nite element method to represent the model ...

This paper present a novel numerical algorithm for the linear one-dimensional heat and wave equation. In this method, a nite dierenceapproach had been used to discrete the time derivative while cubic spline isapplied as an interpolation function in the space dimension. We discuss theaccuracy of the method by expanding the equation based on Taylor series andminimize the error. The proposed metho...

We propose a construction of a trivariate C 1 macro-element over a special tetrahedral partition and compare our construction with known C 1 macro-elements which are summarized in this paper. Also, we propose an improvement of the Alfeld construction of a C 1 quintic macro-element such that the new scheme is able to reproduce all polynomials of total degree 5. x1. Introduction The study of triv...

In this paper an efficient numerical scheme to approximate the solutions of fifth-order boundary value problems in a finite domain with two different types of boundary conditions has been prsented, by taking basis functions with quartic Bsplines and weight functions with quintic B-splines in PetrovGalerkin method. In this method, the quartic B-splines and quintic B-splines are redefined into ne...

Collocation method using quintic B-splines finite element have been developed for solving numerically the HirotaSatsuma coupled MKdV equation. Accuracy of the proposed method is shown numerically by calculating conservation laws, 2 L and  L norms on studying of a soliton solution. It is shown that the collocation scheme for solutions of the MKdV equation gives rise to smaller errors and is qui...

This paper is concerned with a study of some new formulations of smoothness conditions and conformality conditions for multivariate splines in terms of B-net representation. In the bivariate setting, a group of new parameters of bivariate quartic and quintic polynomials over a planar simplex is introduced, new formulations of smoothness conditions of bivariate quartic C1 splines and quintic C2 ...
