We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the total positivity of certain connection matrices arising in piecewise exponential spline spaces. These total positivity conditions are sufficient for existence of B-splines in such spaces, but they are far from being necessary. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of B-splines in the case of piecewise exponential spline sp...

To nd a global and smooth curve tting, cubic B-Spline method and gathering-line methods are investigated. When segmenting and recognizing a contour curve of character shape, some global method is required. If we want to connect contour curves around a singular point like crossing points, merging separated contours together which lies apart crossing the singular point is necessary. For this purp...

C-Bézier and C-B-spline curves, as the trigonometric extensions of cubic uniform spline curves are well-known in geometric modeling. These curves depend on a shape parameter α in a way that α → 0 yields the cubic polynomial curves. The geometric effect of the alteration of this parameter is discussed in this paper by the help of relative parametrization and linear approximation.

Many mathematical formulations of physical phenomena contain integro-differential equations. In this paper a numerical method is developed to solve the convection-diffusion integro-differential equations with a weakly singular kernel using the cubic B-spline collocation method. These equations occur in many applications such as in the transport of air and ground water pollutants, oil reservoir ...

In this article, we study the numerical solution of the one dimensional nonlinear sineGordon by using the modified cubic B-spline differential quadrature method (MCB-DQM). The scheme is a combination of a modified cubic B-spline basis function and the differential quadrature method. The modified cubic B-spline is used as a basis function in the differential quadrature method to compute the weig...

Uniform cubic B-spline functions have been used for mapping functions in various areas such as image warping and morphing, 3D deformation, and volume morphing. The injectivity (one-to-one property) of a mapping function is crucial to obtain desirable results in these areas. This paper considers the injectivity conditions of 2D and 3D uniform cubic B-spline functions. We propose a geometric inte...

In this paper, the exponential B-spline functions are used for the numerical solution of the advection-diffusion equation. Two numerical examples related to pure advection in a finitely long channel and the distribution of an initial Gaussian pulse are employed to illustrate the accuracy and the efficiency of the method. Obtained results are compared with some early studies.
