This paper describes the use of cubic splines for interpolating monotonic data sets. Interpolating cubic splines are popular for fitting data because they use low-order polynomials and have C2 continuity, a property that permits them to satisfy a desirable smoothness constraint. Unfortunately, that same constraint often violates another desirable property: monotonicity. The goal of this work is...

A numerical scheme, based on the cubic B-spline wavelets for solving fractional integro-differential equations is presented. The fractional derivative of these wavelets are utilized to reduce the fractional integro-differential equation to system of algebraic equations. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency and simplicity of the method.

We provide an explicit formula for a large class of exponential Bsplines. Also, we characterize the cases where the integer-translates of an exponential B-spline form a partition of unity up to a multiplicative constant. As an application of this result we construct explicitly given pairs of dual Gabor frames.

Spline methods provide an important tool to solve singularly perturbed boundary value problems. The present paper gives a comprehensive review of computational methods based on splines used in the solution of various classes of singularly perturbed problems such as self adjoint, linear, non-linear, semi-linear, quasi-linear, singular, single parameter and multi parameter. The spline based numer...

Nowadays, options are common financial derivatives. For this reason, by increase of applications for these financial derivatives, the problem of options pricing is one of the most important economic issues. With the development of stochastic models, the need for randomly computational methods caused the generation of a new field called financial engineering. In the financial engineering the pre...

Physical processes with memory and hereditary properties can be best described by fractional differential equations based on the memory effect of fractional derivatives. For that reason reliable and efficient techniques for the solution of fractional differential equations are needed. Our aim is to generalize the wavelet collocation method to fractional partial differential equations using cubi...

This paper develops a new family of convexity-preserving splines of order n, hereby entitled the CPn-spline, that preserves convexity when derivatives at the data points satisfy some reasonable conditions. The spline comprises four components: a constant term, a first order term, and two nth order binomials. A slope-averaging-method is proposed for the general implementation of the new spline. ...

In this article, the cubic B-spline collocation method is implemented to find numerical solution of the problem arising from chemical reactor theory. The method is tested on some model problems from the literature, and the numerical results are compared with other methods.
