Chaiken's algorithm is a procedure for inserting new knots into uniform quadratic Bspline curves by doubling the control points and taking two successive averages. Lane and Riesenfeld showed that Chaiken's algorithm extends to uniform B-spline curves of arbitrary degree. By generalizing the notion of successive averaging, we further extend Chaiken's algorithm to B-spline curves of arbitrary deg...

We present multiresolution B-spline surfaces of arbitrary order defined over triangular domains. Unlike existing methods, the basic idea of our approach is to construct the triangular basis functions from their tensor product relatives in the spirit of box splines by projecting them onto the barycentric plane. The scheme works for splines of any order where the fundamental building blocks of th...

Based on trace theory, we study efficient methods for concurrent integration of B-spline basis functions in IGA-FEM. We motivate the discussion with heat-equation problem discretized forward Euler time-marching scheme time and IGA-FEM space, leading to cost associated assembling Mass matrix. consider several scenarios parallelization two standard methods; classical one sum factorization. aim ef...

This paper discusses the dimension of spline spaces S(m,n,m−1, n−1,T ) over certain type of hierarchical T-meshes. The major step is to set up a bijection between the spline space S(m,n,m− 1, n− 1,T ) and a univariate spline space whose definition depends on the l-edges of the extended T-mesh. We decompose the univariate spline space into direct sums in the sense of isomorphism using the theory...

In this paper sixth order boundary value problems is solved numerically by collocation method. The solution is approximated as a linear combination of septic B-spline functions. The septic B-splines constitute a basis for the space of septic polynomial splines. In the method, the basis functions are redefined into a new set of basis functions which in number match with the number of selected co...

The knot vectors of a B-spline surface determine the basis functions hereby, together with the control points, the shape of the surface. Knot manipulations and their influence on the shape of curves have been investigated in several papers (see e.g. [4] and [5]). The computations can be made very efficiently, if the basis functions and the vector function of the B-spline surface are represented...

In this paper, we construct a novel normalized B-spline-like representation for C2-continuous cubic spline space defined on an initial partition refined by inserting two new points inside each sub-interval. The basis functions are compactly supported non-negative that geometrically constructed and form convex of unity. With the help control polynomial theory introduced herein, Marsden identity ...

Cranial implants, especially custom made are complex, important and necessary in craniofacial fracture restoration surgery. However, the classical procedure of manual design implant is time consuming complicated. Different computer-based techniques proposed by different researchers, including CAD/CAM, mirroring, reference skull, thin plate spline radial basis functions have been used for crania...
