The appropriateness of various numerical procedures for obtaining valid time-derivative data recently reported in the literature (Zernicke et a/., 1976: McLaughlin er al., 1977; Pezzack et u/., 1977) is discussed. A case for the use of quintic natural splines is presented. based on the smoothness of higher derivatives and flexibility in application. \‘ES; /\ . _J”P JGTc, SE=5 :;yz,s’sy = z7 ___...

Spline curves are useful in a variety of geometric modeling and graphics applications and covering problems abound in practical settings. This work defines a class of covering decision problems for shapes bounded by spline curves. As a first step in addressing these problems, this paper treats translational spline covering for planar, uniform, cubic B-splines. Inner and outer polygonal approxim...

This paper describes a comparison of some numerical methods for solving the advection-diffusion (AD) equation which may be used to describe transport of a pollutant. The one-dimensional advection-diffusion equation is solved by using cubic splines (the natural cubic spline and a ”special” AD cubic spline) to estimate first and second derivatives, and also by solving the same problem using two s...

We show how to combine, into one unified spline complex, C2 tensorproduct bi-cubic NURBS and G2 bi-cubic rational splines. The G2 splines are capable of exactly representing basic shapes such as (pieces of) quadrics and surfaces of revolution, including tori and cyclides. The main challenge is to bridge the differing continuity. We transform the G2 splines to splines that are C2 in homogeneous ...

In this paper, we construct a novel normalized B-spline-like representation for C2-continuous cubic spline space defined on an initial partition refined by inserting two new points inside each sub-interval. The basis functions are compactly supported non-negative that geometrically constructed and form convex of unity. With the help control polynomial theory introduced herein, Marsden identity ...

In the present article, a numerical method is proposed for the numerical solution of the KdV equation by using a new approach by combining cubic B-spline functions. In this paper we convert the KdV equation to system of two equations. The method is shown to be unconditionally stable using von-Neumann technique. To test accuracy the error norms L2, L∞ are computed. Three invariants of motion are...

Abstract To obtain higher order continuous tool path, a cubic B-spline curve fitting method is presented in this paper to process the linear path. First, local polynomial with bidirectional scanning scheme proposed determine some initial dominant points. Based on these points, knot vector generated by average method, and constructed. constrain error, Newton’s based error estimation point insert...

Most shapes are simply too complicated to define using a single Bézier curve. A spline curve is a sequence of curve segments that are connected together to form a single continuous curve. For example, a piecewise collection of Bézier curves, connected end to end, can be called a spline curve. Overhauser curves are another example of splines. The word “spline” can also be used as a verb, as in “...
