This paper deals with the merging problem of segments of a composite B\'ezier curve, with the endpoints continuity constraints. We present a novel method which is based on the idea of using constrained dual Bernstein polynomial basis (P.…
In this paper we study dual bases functions in subspaces. These are bases which are dual to functionals on larger linear space. Our goal is construct and derive properties of certain bases obtained from the construction, with primary focus…

In this paper, the construction of $C^{1}$ cubic quasi-interpolants on a three-direction mesh of $\RR^{2}$ is addressed. The quasi-interpolating splines are defined by directly setting their Bernstein-B\'{e}zier coefficients relative to…

We address the basic question in discrete Morse theory of combining discrete gradient fields that are partially defined on subsets of the given complex. This is a well-posed question when the discrete gradient field $V$ is generated using a…
We propose a novel Moebius interpolator that takes as an input a discrete map between the vertices of two planar triangle meshes, and outputs a smooth map on the input domain. The output map interpolates the discrete map, is continuous…
In this work, merging ideas from compatible discretisations and polyhedral methods, we construct novel fully discrete polynomial de Rham sequences of arbitrary degree on polygons and polyhedra. The spaces and operators that appear in these…
We use discrete holomorphic polynomials to prove that, given a refining sequence of critical maps of a Riemann surface, any holomorphic function can be approximated by a converging sequence of discrete holomorphic functions.
A "blendstring" is a piecewise polynomial interpolant with high-degree two-point Hermite interpolational polynomials on each piece, analogous to a cubic spline. Blendstrings are smoother and can be more accurate than cubic splines, and can…
We describe discrete restricted Boltzmann machines: probabilistic graphical models with bipartite interactions between visible and hidden discrete variables. Examples are binary restricted Boltzmann machines and discrete naive Bayes models.…
The Bernstein polynomial basis sees significant use owing to its unique properties, particularly in the field of optimal control. However, the basis is known to have a slow rate of convergence to the function it approximates. With this in…
In this work, following the Discrete de Rham (DDR) paradigm, we develop an arbitrary-order discrete divdiv complex on general polyhedral meshes. The construction rests 1) on discrete spaces that are spanned by vectors of polynomials whose…
In this paper, we provide a systematic discretization of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (BGG) diagrams and complexes over cubical meshes of arbitrary dimension via the use of tensor-product structures of one-dimensional piecewise-polynomial…
We give a deterministic method of quasi-polynomial complexity to approximate the volume of the intersection of the unit hypercube with two specific sets. The method can actually be applied (without losing the quasi-polynomial complexity) to…
The aim of this paper is to extend the approximate quasi-interpolation on a uniform grid by dilated shifts of a smooth and rapidly decaying function on a uniform grid to scattered data quasi-interpolation. It is shown that high order…
We propose a novel approach to the problem of polynomial approximation of rational B\'ezier triangular patches with prescribed boundary control points. The method is very efficient thanks to using recursive properties of the bivariate dual…
