Surface blending is a useful operation in geometric design for rounding sharp edges or corners. Meanwhile, NURBS has already become the de facto industrial standard in existing CAD/CAM systems. Therefore, it is required to study how to blend two B-spline surfaces. However, two arbitrary B-spline surfaces (called base surfaces) are hard to be blended with a B-spline surface (called blending surf...

We consider the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation of derivative type: 1 $$\begin{aligned} i \partial _t u + _x^2 +i |u|^{2} _x +b|u|^4u=0 , \quad (t,x) \in {{\mathbb {R}}}\times {R}}}, \ b {R}}}. \end{aligned}$$ If $$b=0$$ this is a gauge equivalent form well-known (DNLS) equation. The soliton profile DNLS satisfies certain double power elliptic with cubic–quintic nonlinearities. quintic...

C-B spline can not represent semi-circle and semi-elliptical arcs precisely. This paper will discuss the nature of C-B spline’s and C-Bézier curve’s endpoints. Then, on the basis of the analysis of their characteristics and by means of adding control points to make C-B spline dominate the first and last vertices of the polygon and get tangency with the first and end sides. Thus it has given out...

B-spline functions play important roles in both mathematics and engineering. To describe a numerical method for solving the boundary value problem of linear ODE with second-order by using B-spline. First, the cubic B-spline basis functions are introduced, then we use the linear combination of cubic B-spline basis to approximate the solution. Finally, we obtain the numerical solution by solving ...

This paper is devoted to the shape control of B-spline curves achieved by the modification of one of its knot values. At first those curves are described along which the points of a B-spline curve move under the modification of a knot value. Then we show that the one-parameter family of k order B-spline curves obtained by modifying a knot value has an envelope which is also a B-spline curve of ...

Investigating the Eulerian numbers and uniform B-spline recurrence relations, a connection between Eulerian numbers and B-spline values at knot points is proved, and a relation to inner products of uniform B-splines is shown. This connection allows, with few operations, to evaluate the B-spline curve at domain knots and could be utilized to obtain an easy approximation and representation of B-s...

Sliding motion is a challenge for deformable image registration because it leads to discontinuities in the sought deformation. In this paper, we present a method to handle sliding motion using multiple B-spline transforms. The proposed method decomposes the sought deformation into sliding regions to allow discontinuities at their interfaces, but prevents unrealistic solutions by forcing those i...
