The following divisors in the space Sym^{12} P^1 of twelve points on P^1 are actually the same: (A) the possible locus of the twelve nodal fibers in a rational elliptic fibration (i.e. a pencil of plane cubic curves); (B) degree 12 binary…
The spline space $C_k^r(\Delta)$ attached to a subdivided domain $\Delta$ of $\R^{d} $ is the vector space of functions of class $C^{r}$ which are polynomials of degree $\le k$ on each piece of this subdivision. Classical splines on planar…
We introduce a framework for spline spaces of hierarchical type, based on a parent-children relation, which is very convenient for the analysis as well as the implementation of adaptive isogeometric methods. Such framework makes it simple…
We show that under a separation property, a $\mathcal{Q}$-minimal point in a normed space is the minimum of a given sublinear function. This fact provides sufficient conditions, via scalarization, for nine types of proper efficient points;…
In this paper we present an efficient and robust approach to compute a normalized B-spline-like basis for spline spaces with pieces drawn from extended Tchebycheff spaces. The extended Tchebycheff spaces and their dimensions are allowed to…
We derive a formula which is a lower bound on the dimension of trivariate splines on a tetrahedral partition which are continuously differentiable of order $r$ in large enough degree. While this formula may fail to be a lower bound on the…
We establish several fundamental properties of analysis-suitable T-splines which are important for design and analysis. First, we characterize T-spline spaces and prove that the space of smooth bicubic polynomials, defined over the extended…
Approximating data points in three or higher dimension space based on cubic B-spline curve is presented. Representations for planar curves, are merged and extended to the higher dimension. The curve is fitted to the order of data points, or…
B-splines $B_{q}$, $\Sc q > 1$, of quaternionic order $q$, for short quaternionic B-splines, are quaternion-valued piecewise M\"{u}ntz polynomials whose scalar parts interpolate the classical Schoenberg splines $B_{n}$, $n\in\N$, with…
In this paper, we investigate a spline frame generated by oversampling against the well-known Battle-Lemari\'e wavelet system of nonnegative integer order, $n$. We establish a characterization of the Besov and Triebel-Lizorkin (quasi-)…
Profiles of radially symmetric thin plate spline surfaces minimizing the Beppo Levi energy over a compact annulus $R_{1}\leq r\leq R_{2}$ have been studied by Rabut via reproducing kernel methods. Motivated by our recent construction of…
Semialgebraic splines are bivariate splines over meshes whose edges are arcs of algebraic curves. They were first considered by Wang, Chui, and Stiller. We compute the dimension of the space of semialgebraic splines in two extreme cases. If…
We introduce an extension of cone splines and box splines to fractional and complex orders. These new families of multivariate splines are defined in the Fourier domain along certain $s$-dimensional meshes and include as special cases the…
We find sharp absolute constants $C_1$ and $C_2$ with the following property: every well-rounded lattice of rank 3 in a Euclidean space has a minimal basis so that the solid angle spanned by these basis vectors lies in the interval…
We present recent improvements in polarization analysis with the INTEGRAL SPI data. The SPI detector plane consists of 19 independent Ge crystals and can operate as a polarimeter. The anisotropy characteristics of Compton diffusions can…
We apply the theory of Groebner bases to the study of signed, symmetric polyomino tilings of planar domains. Complementing the results of Conway and Lagarias we show that the triangular regions T_N=T_{3k-1} and T_N=T_{3k} in a hexagonal…
This paper presents the first method for constructing bases for polynomial spline spaces over an arbitrary T-meshes (PT-splines for short). We construct spline basis functions for an arbitrary T-mesh by first converting the T-mesh into a…
In this paper we present a new class of cubature rules with the aim of accurately integrating weakly singular double integrals. In particular we focus on those integrals coming from the discretization of Boundary Integral Equations for 3D…
Splines over triangulations and splines over quadrangulations (tensor product splines) are two common ways to extend bivariate polynomials to splines. However, combination of both approaches leads to splines defined over mixed triangle and…
In this paper we study the dimension of splines of mixed smoothness on axis-aligned T-meshes. This is the setting when different orders of smoothness are required across the edges of the mesh. Given a spline space whose dimension is…
