Introduction 3D reconstruction of an object from its 2D cross-sections (slices) has many applications in different fields of sciences such as medical physics and biomedical engineering. In order to perform 3D reconstruction, at first, desired boundaries at each slice are detected and then using a correspondence between points of successive slices surface of desired object is reconstructed. Mate...

The paper develops a rational bi-cubic G2 (curvature continuous) analogue of the non-uniform polynomial C2 cubic B-spline paradigm. These rational splines can exactly reproduce parts of multiple basic shapes, such as cyclides and quadrics, in one by default smoothly-connected structure. The versatility of this new tool for processing exact geometry is illustrated by conceptual design from basic...

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.

Let v(G) and γ(G) denote the number of vertices and the domination number of a graph G, respectively, and let ρ(G) = γ(G)/v(G). In 1996 B. Reed conjectured that if G is a cubic graph, then γ(G) ≤ dv(G)/3e. In 2005 A. Kostochka and B. Stodolsky disproved this conjecture for cubic graphs of connectivity one and maintained that the conjecture may still be true for cubic 2-connected graphs. Their m...

We will be presenting two theorems in this paper. The first theorem, which is a new result, is about the non-existence of integer solutions of the cubic diophantine equation. In the proof of this theorem we have used some known results from theory of binary cubic forms and the method of infinite descent, which are well understood in the purview of Elementary Number Theory(ENT). In the second th...

A Fano colouring is a colouring of the edges of a cubic graph by points of the Fano plane such that the colours of any three mutually adjacent edges form a line of the Fano plane. It has recently been shown by Holroyd and Škoviera (J. Combin. Theory Ser. B, to appear) that a cubic graph has a Fano colouring if and only if it is bridgeless. In this paper we prove that six, and conjecture that fo...

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 important to obtain good results in these areas. This paper considers the local injectivity conditions of 2D and 3D uniform cubic B-spline functions. We propose a geometric i...

Both the 4-point and the uniform cubic B-spline subdivisions double the number of vertices of a closed-loop polygon P and produce sequences of vertices fj and bj respectively. We study the J-spline subdivision scheme Js, introduced by Maillot and Stam, which blends these two methods to produce vertices of the form vj=(1–s)fj+sbj. Iterative applications of Js yield a family of limit curves, the ...
