A systematic construction of higher order splines using two hierarchies of polynomials is presented. Explicit instructions on how to implement one of these hierarchies are given. The results are limited to interpolations on regular,…
Splines can be constructed by convolving the indicator function of a cell whose shifts tessellate $\R^k$. This paper presents simple, non-algebraic criteria that imply that, for regular shift-invariant tessellations, only a small subset of…
We use the theory of hyperplane arrangements to construct natural bases for the homology of partition lattices of types A, B and D. This extends and explains the "splitting basis" for the homology of the partition lattice given in [Wa96],…
We give a closed formula for the Conway function of a splice in terms of the Conway function of its splice components. As corollaries, we refine and generalize results of Seifert, Torres, and Sumners-Woods.
For any 3-monotone on $[a,b]$ function $f$ (its third divided differences are nonnegative for all choices of four distinct points, or equivalently, $f$ has a convex derivative on $(a,b)$) we construct a cubic 3-monotone (like $f$) spline…
The paper deals with two fundamental types of trigonometric polynomials and splines on uniform grids, which allow us to construct interpolation approximations that depend linearly on the values of the interpolated function. Fundamental on…

This survey gives an overview of several fundamental algebraic constructions which arise in the study of splines. Splines play a key role in approximation theory, geometric modeling, and numerical analysis, their properties depend on…
A piecewise Chebyshevian spline space is good for design when it possesses a B-spline basis and this property is preserved under knot insertion. The interest in such kind of spaces is justified by the fact that, similarly as for polynomial…
The construction of B-spline wavelet bases on nonequispaced knots is extended to wavelets that are piecewise segments from any combination of smooth functions. The extended wavelet family thus provides multiresolution basis functions with…
This paper is focused on the structure of the Kauffman bracket skein algebra of a punctured surface at roots of unity. A criterion that determines when a collection of skeins forms a basis of the skein algebra as an extension over the…
One of the possible variants of the classification of trigonometric interpolation splines is considered, depending on the chosen convergence factors, the distribution of signs of the basis functions and the interpolation factors. The…
We introduce a set of combinatorial techniques for studying the simplicial bounded cohomology of semi-simplicial sets, simplicial complexes and posets. We apply these methods to prove several new bounded acyclicity results for…
We define spin-c prequantization of a symplectic manifold to be a spin-c structure and a connection which are compatible with the symplectic form. We describe the cutting of an S^1-equivariant spin-c prequantization. The cutting process…
In this paper, we introduce the new class of twisted $B$-splines and study some properties of these B-splines. We also investigate the system of twisted translates and the wavelets corresponding to these twisted $B$-splines.
