Splines are part of the standard toolbox for the approximation of functions and curves in Rd . Still, the problem of finding the spline that best approximates an input function or curve is ill-posed, since in general this yields a “spline” with an infinite number of segments. The problem can be regularized by adding a penalty term for the number of spline segments. We show how this idea can be ...

B-spline scaling functions and wavelets have found wide applicability in many scientific and practical problems thanks to their unique properties. They show considerably better results in comparison to other wavelets, and they are used as well in mathematical approximations, signal processing, image compression, etc. But only the first four wavelets from this family were mathematically formulat...

This article discusses the mathematical concepts of multivariate parametric solids and their description by B-spline basis functions. Parametric solids can model both the shape and unisotropic interior. Three types of parametric solids, Coons body of types 0, 1, and 2, are used to demonstrate the interior modelling often used as initial or boundary conditions in numerical simulation. Multiple p...

In this paper the approximation of the optimal compressor function using the first-degree spline functions and quadratic spline functions is done. Coefficients on which we form approximative spline functions are determined by solving equation systems that are formed from treshold conditions. For Gaussian source at the input of the quantizer, using the obtained approximate spline functions a com...

In this paper, we consider the relationship between some local and global properties of reenable functions such as local and global linear independence, local smoothness and B-spline, local and global integrability.

The present paper studies adaptive refinement on multi-patch structures via the gluing approach. More precisely, we investigate the applicability of the gluing construction in isogeometric analysis on multi-patch domains with adaptively refined spline spaces. We will see that this is closely related to the concept of boundary compatibility of an adaptive spline construction. Given a spline basi...
