A constructive approach is adopted to build B-spline like basis for cubic spline curves with a more general continuity than beta-continuity. This method provides not only a large variety of very interesting shape controls like biased, point, and interval tensions but, as a special case, also recovers a number of spline methods like nu-spline of Nielson[9], beta-splines[1], gamma-splines of Boeh...

Both the four-point and the uniform cubic B-spline refinement (i.e. subdivision) schemes double the number of vertices of a closed-loop polygonal curve P and produce sequences of vertices fj and bj respectively. We proposed to analyze a subdivision scheme Js that blends the rules of these two refinement methods to produce vertices of the form vj=(1–s)fj+sbj. Iterative applications of Js yield a...

The comprehensive numerical study has been made here for the solution of One dimensional heat equation the Finite Element method is adopted for the solution with B-spline basis function the important finding of the present study is to understand the basics behind the FEM method while the B-spline basis function come into the picture here the solution is made using Quadratic B-spline and Cubic B...

Based on analysis of cubic spline interpolation, the differentiation formulas of the cubic spline interpolation on the three boundary conditions are put up forward in this paper. At last, this calculation method is illustrated through an example. The numerical results show that the spline numerical differentiations are quite effective for estimating first and higher derivatives of equally and u...

B-spline filter kernals have proved useful in many pixel sampling applications. A cubic B-spline filter kernal, having a width of four pixels, is particularly effective. In distribution ray tracing, pixel filters are evaluated implicitly by having the density of sampling proportional to the filter value. In this work we present a simple method to generate random samples having an underlying B-s...

An automatic algorithm for fairing B-spline curves of general order is presented. This work was motivated by a method of Farin and Sapidis about fairing planar cubic B-spline curves by subsequently removing and reinserting knots. Instead our new algorithm is based on the idea of subsequently changing one control point of a given B-spline curve so that the new curve minimizes the integral of the...

The spline collocation method  is employed to solve a system of linear and nonlinear Fredholm and Volterra integro-differential equations. The solutions are collocated by cubic B-spline and the integrand is approximated by the Newton-Cotes formula. We obtain the unique solution for linear and nonlinear system $(nN+3n)times(nN+3n)$ of integro-differential equations. This approximation reduces th...
