In [4] the first named author discussed the explicit solutions of the cubic spline interpolation problems. We are now concerned with quintic spline functions. Let 5B[0, n] denote the class of quintic spline functions S(x) defined in the interval [0, n] and having the points 0, 1, • • • , n — 1 as knots. This means that the restriction of S(x) to the interval (*>, J > + 1 ) (P = 0, • • • , n — \...

This paper concerns the cubic smoothing spline approach to nonparametric regression. After first deriving sharp asymptotic formulas for the eigenvalues of the smoothing matrix, the paper uses these formulas to investigate the efficiency of different selection criteria for choosing the smoothing parameter. Special attention is paid to the generalized maximum likelihood (GML), Cp and extended exp...

The collocation methods based on cubic B-spline, are developed to approximate solution of the second and first kind Fredholm integral equations.First we collocate the solution by B-spline and the Newton-Cotes formula is used to approximate integral. Convergence analysis has been investigated and proved that the quadratur rule is fourth order convergent. The presented methods are tested to the p...

In this paper one dimensional heat equation is solved using Galerkin B-spline Finite Element. Solution is obtained by reducing the initial boundary value problem to the set of Ordinary differential equations. Discretization of the spatial domain is made using cubic B-spline functions as basis functions. The numerical results obtained from the two test problems are compared with the analytical s...

This paper proposesa new class of unit quaternion curves in SO(3). A general method is developed that transforms a curve in R3 (defined as a weighted sum of basis functions) into its unit quaternion analogue in SO(3). Applying the method to well-known spline curves (such as Bézier, Hermite, and B-spline curves), we are able to construct various unit quaternion curves which share many important ...
