We study the space of binary cubic and quadratic forms over the ring of integers O of an algebraic number field k. By applying the theory of prehomogeneous vector spaces founded by M. Sato and T. Shintani, we can associate the zeta functions for these spaces. Applying these zeta functions, we derive some density theorems on the distributions of discriminants of cubic algebras of O. In the case ...

With the objective of generating “shape-preserving” smooth interpolating curves that represent data with abrupt changes in magnitude and/or knot spacing, we study a class of first-derivative-based C1-smooth univariate cubic L1 splines. An L1 spline minimizes the L1 norm of the difference between the first-order derivative of the spline and the local divided difference of the data. Calculating t...

in the present article, a numerical method is proposed for the numerical solution of thekdv 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 norms2l, ∞l are computed. three invariants of motion are p...

this paper  considersthe problem of  aliasing in information processing. the cubic spline method of interpolating the uniformly sampled signals and its effects on the autocorrelation estimation as well as the resulting spectral density function are studied by simulating random signals with known autocorrelation functions. hence, by comparison of aliased and alias-free cases, indications are ded...

A personal account of the author's encounters with multivariate splines during their early history. 1 Tensor product spline interpolation My first contact with multivariate splines occurred in August 1960. In my first year at the Harvard Graduate School, working as an RA for Garrett Birkhoff, I had not done too well but, nevertheless, had gotten married and so needed a better income than the RA...

We present an efficient geometric algorithm for conic spline curve fitting and fairing through conic arc scaling. Given a set of planar points, we first construct a tangent continuous conic spline by interpolating the points with a quadratic Bézier spline curve or fitting the data with a smooth arc spline. The arc spline can be represented as a piecewise quadratic rational Bézier spline curve. ...
