We analyze the space Sr,r ′ m,m (T ) of bivariate functions that are piecewise polynomial of bidegree (m,m) and class C ′ over the planar T-subdivision T . We give a new formula for the dimension of this space by exploiting homological techniques. We relate this dimension to the number of nodes on the maximal interior segments of the subdivision, give combinatorial lower and upper bounds on the...

Fracture analysis of orthotropic cracked media is investigated by applying the recently developed extended isogeometric analysis (XIGA) (Ghorashi et al., 2012) using the T-spline basis functions. The signed distance function and orthotropic crack tip enrichment functions are adopted for extrinsically enriching the conventional isogeometric analysis approximation for representation of strong dis...

A frequency interpretation of Bayesian "confidence" intervals for smoothing splines. Abstract The frequency properties of Wahba's Bayesian "confidence" intervals for smoothing splines are investigated by a large sample approximation and by a simulation study. When the coverage probabilities for these pointwise confidence intervals is averaged across the observation points, we explain why the av...

introduction relative dose computation is a necessary step in radiation treatment planning. therefore, finding an approach that is both fast and accurate seems to be necessary. the purpose of this work was to investigate the feasibility of natural cubic spline to reconstruct dose maps for linear accelerator radiation treatment fields in comparison with those of the simulation. materials and met...

Analysis-suitable T -splines (AS T -splines) are a mildly topological restricted subset of T -splines which are linear independent regardless of knot values [1–3]. The present paper provides some more iso-geometric analysis (IGA) oriented properties for AS T splines and generalizes them to arbitrary topology AS T -splines. First, we prove that the blending functions for analysis-suitable T -spl...

where q : I → R, pi : I → R, and ki : D → R (i = 0,1) (with D := {(t,s) : 0 ≤ s ≤ t ≤ T}) are given functions and are assumed to be (at least) continuous in the respective domains. For more details of these equations, many other interesting methods for the approximated solution and stability procedures are available in earlier literatures [1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11]. The above equation is usually...
