The paper discusses asymptotic properties of penalized spline smoothing if the spline basis increases with the sample size. The proof is provided in a generalized smoothing model allowing for non-normal responses. The results are extended in two ways. First, assuming the spline coefficients to be a priori normally distributed links the smoothing framework to generalized linear mixed models (GLM...

This paper presents a C Pythagorean-Hodograph (PH) spline curve interpolator for contourfollowing tasks. To generate the C PH quintic spline curve, a uniform knot sequence is employed. The Scurve motion planning architecture with variable feedrate for a planar C PH quintic spline curve is also developed. In particular, C cubic feed acceleration/deceleration is imposed on the first and last PH q...

In this paper, non-polynomial spline method for solving Coupled Burgers Equations are presented. We take a new spline function. The stability analysis using Von-Neumann technique shows the scheme is unconditionally stable. To test accuracy the error norms 2L, L are computed and give two examples to illustrate the sufficiency of the method for solving such nonlinear partial differential equation...

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...

We propose a learning approach to designing fuzzy controllers based on the B-spline model. Unlike other normalised parameterised set functions for deening fuzzy sets, B-spline basis functions do not necessarily span from membership values zero to one, but possess the property \partition of unity". B-spline basis functions can be automatically determined after each input is partitioned. Learning...

In this paper results from a forthcoming paper are presented concerning the convexity of multivariate spline functions built from B patches Conditions are given under which it is possible to de ne a control net for such spline functions The control net is understood as a piecewise linear function If it is convex then so is the underlying spline

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 is concerned with the spline interpolation of functions with a boundary layer component. It is shown that polynomial formulas of spline interpolation for such functions lead to significant errors. We proposed nonpolynomial spline interpolation formulas, fitted to a boundary layer component. Nonsmooth and smooth on whole interval interpolants are constructed. The accuracy of construct...
