We introduce control curves for trigonometric splines and show that they have properties similar to those for classical polynomial splines. In particular, we discuss knot insertion algorithms, and show that as more and more knots are inserted into a trigonometric spline, the associated control curves converge to the spline. In addition, we establish a convex-hull property and a variation-dimini...

An exact collision detection algorithm is described and analyzed. The time bound considers the complexity of the solids, number of joints and number of distinct collision configurations. A bound for the number of collision configurations can be taken directly from the input data. The algorithm is based on exact treatment of trigonometric expressions. The representation of trigonometric constant...

A new kind of quasi-quartic trigonometric polynomial base functions with a shape parameter λ over the space Ω=span {1, sint, cost, sint2t, cos2t} is presented, and the corresponding quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves and surfaces are defined by the introduced base functions. The quasi-quartic trigonometric Bézier curves inherit most of properties similar to those of quartic Bézier curves...

Many weighted polynomial inequalities, such as the Bernstein, Marcinkiewicz, Schur, Remez, Nikolskii inequalities, with doubling weights were proved by Mastroianni and Totik for the case [Formula: see text], and by Tamás Erdélyi for [Formula: see text]. In this paper we extend such polynomial inequalities to those for generalized trigonometric polynomials. We also prove the large sieve for gene...

Abstract. One fragment (page 335) published with Ramanujan’s lost notebook contains two formulas, each involving a finite trigonometric sum and a doubly infinite series of Bessel functions. The identities are connected with the classical circle and divisor problems, respectively. This paper is devoted to the first identity. First, we obtain a generalization in the setting of Riesz sums. Second,...

In this chapter we study cones in the real Hilbert spaces of Hermitian matrices and real valued trigonometric polynomials. Based on an approach using such cones and their duals, we establish various extension results for positive semidefinite matrices and nonnegative trigonometric polynomials. In addition, we show the connection with semidefinite programming and include some numerical experiments.

Generalised definitions of exponential, trigonometric sine and cosine and hyperbolic sine and cosine functions are given. In the lowest order, these functions correspond to ordinary exponential, trigonometric sine etc. Some of the properties of the generalised functions are discussed. Importance of these functions and their possible applications are also considered. PACS No.: 02.30.Hq, 02.30.Gp...

Szegő polynomials are orthogonal with respect to an inner product on the unit circle. Numerical methods for weighted least-squares approximation by trigonometric polynomials conveniently can be derived and expressed with the aid of Szegő polynomials. This paper discusses the conditioning of several mappings involving Szegő polynomials and, thereby, sheds light on the sensitivity of some approxi...
