In this paper, we construct a matrix, which transforms a generalized C-Bézier basis into a generalized uniform algebraic-trigonometric B-spline (C-B-spline or UAT B-spline) basis. We also show that it is a totally positive matrix and give a normalized B-basis of the generalized UAT B-splines.  2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

A high quality surface representation is indispensable for a hydrodynamic numerical model, which is related to nature. This relationship is defined by two-dimensional parameters (like bathymetry, bottom roughness and friction). Standard algorithms for meshing are not able to guarantee these requirements. Applied methods approximate the surface by patches. The knots of these patches are given po...

In this paper, we propose a new interpolation technique using exponential B-spline, which is super-set of the Bspline. An interpolation kernel of exponential B-spline was proposed using IIR based technique by Unser. As another approach, this paper presents an exponential B-spline interpolation kernel using simple mathematics based on Fourier approximation. A high signal to noise ratio can be ac...

Non-uniform B-spline dictionaries on a compact interval are discussed in the context of sparse signal representation. For each given partition, dictionaries of B-spline functions for the corresponding spline space are built up by dividing the partition into subpartitions and joining together the bases for the concomitant subspaces. The resulting slightly redundant dictionaries are composed of B...

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 research, second order linear two-point boundary value problems are treated using new method based on hybrid cubic B-spline. The values of the free parameter,Gamma , chosen via optimization. parameter plays an important role in giving accurate results. Optimization is carried out. This tested four examples and a comparison with B-spline, trigonometric B-spline extended methods has been ...

Macro-elements of arbitrary smoothness are constructed on Clough-Tocher triangle splits. These elements can be used for solving boundary-value problems or for interpolation of Hermite data, and are shown to be optimal with respect to spline degree. We believe they are also optimal with respect to the number of degrees of freedom. The construction provides local bases for certain superspline spa...

We present e cient and accurate algorithms for Boolean combinations of solids composed of sculptured models. The boundary of each solid is represented as a collection of trimmed spline surfaces and a connectivity graph. Based on algorithms for trapezoidation of polygons, partitioning of polygons using polygonal chains, surface intersection of high degree spline surfaces and ray-shooting, the bo...
