Tile $\mathrm{B}$-splines in $\mathbb R^d$ are defined as autoconvolutions of indicators tiles, which special self-similar compact sets whose integer translates tile the space R^d$. These functions not piecewise-polynomial, however, being direct generalizations classical $\mathrm{B}$-splines, they enjoy many their properties and have some advantages. In particular, exact values Hölder exponents...

In this paper, we introduce the new class of twisted B-splines and study some properties these B-splines. We also investigate system translates wavelets corresponding to

The notion of complex B-spline is extended to a multivariate setting by means of ridge functions employing the known geometric relationship between ordinary B-splines and multivariate B-splines. To derive properties of complex B-splines in R, 1 < s ∈ N, the Dirichlet average has to be generalized to include infinite dimensional simplices △∞. Based on this generalization several identities of mu...

In computational dealings with splines, the question of representation is of primary importance. For splines of fixed order on a fixed partition, this is a question of choice of basis, since such splines form a linear space. Only three kinds of bases for spline spaces have actually been given serious attention; those consisting of truncated power functions, of cardinal splines, and of B-splines...

In science and engineering there often is a need for the approximation of scattered multi-dimensional data. A class of powerful scattered data approximators are the multivariate simplex B-splines. Multivariate simplex B-splines consist of Bernstein basis polynomials that are defined on a geometrical structure called a triangulation. Multivariate simplex B-splines have a number of advantages ove...

Employing discrete B-splines instead of the Gaussian distribution, we construct an algorithm for the analysis of ionmobility spectrometry profiles. The algorithm is suitable for hardware implementation because the discrete B-splines are supported by a simple digital filter to compute their weighted sum and their correlations with a given signal. Minutely shifted discrete B-splines are deployed ...

This paper investigates two important analytical properties of hyperbolic-polynomial penalized splines, HP-splines for short. HP-splines, obtained by combining a special type difference penalty with B-splines (HB-splines), were recently introduced the authors as generalization P-splines. HB-splines are bell-shaped basis functions consisting segments made real exponentials eαx,e−αx and linear mu...

There are thousands of articles published on variants of splines, including least squares cubic splines. One of the first least squares articles was de Boor and Rice [1], and a comprehensive explanatory textbook is Dierckx [2]. Unfortunately, every example in the literature and on the web of a least squares cubic spline makes use of B-splines. While B-splines have a certain elegance, they are s...

The layout of the survey is as follows. After a short discussion of cardinal B-splines, i.e., of B-splines on a uniform knot sequence, in Section 2, B-splines for an arbitrary knot sequence are introduced in Section 3 and shown to be a basis for certain spaces of piecewise polynomial functions. Various simple properties of B-splines are listed in Section 4, and the relationship between a spline...
