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...

In this paper we consider polynomial splines with equidistant nodes which may grow as O|x|. We present an integral representation of such splines with a distribution kernel where exponential splines are used as basic functions. By this means we characterize splines possessing the property that translations of any such spline form a basis of corresponding spline space. It is shown that any such ...
