In this paper we present a method for knot insertion and degree elevation of generalized B-splines (GB-splines) via the local representation of these curves as piecewise functions. The use of local structures makes the refinement routines…
A new class of rational parametrization has been developed and it was used to generate a new family of rational functions B-splines $\displaystyle{{\left({}^{\alpha}{\mathbf B}_{i}^{k} \right)}_{i=0}^{k}}$ which depends on an index $\alpha…
Tile B-splines in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are defined as autoconvolutions of the indicators of tiles, which are special self-similar compact sets whose integer translates tile the space $\mathbb{R}^d$. These functions are not piecewise-polynomial,…
Multi-degree splines are piecewise polynomial functions having sections of different degrees. They offer significant advantages over the classical uniform-degree framework, as they allow for modeling complex geometries with fewer degrees of…

Multi-degree splines are smooth piecewise-polynomial functions where the pieces can have different degrees. We describe a simple algorithmic construction of a set of basis functions for the space of multi-degree splines, with similar…
A new efficient orthogonalization of the B-spline basis is proposed and contrasted with some previous orthogonalized methods. The resulting orthogonal basis of splines is best visualized as a net of functions rather than a sequence of them.…
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 regularity of refinable functions has been analysed in an extensive literature and is well-understood in two cases: 1) univariate 2) multivariate with an isotropic dilation matrix. The general (non-isotropic) case offered a great…
This survey gives an overview of three central algebraic themes related to the study of splines: duality, group actions, and homology. Splines are piecewise polynomial functions of a prescribed order of smoothness on some subdivided domain…
Multi-degree splines are piecewise polynomial functions having sections of different degrees. For these splines, we discuss the construction of a B-spline basis by means of integral recurrence relations, extending the class of multi-degree…
Normal multi-scale transform [4] is a nonlinear multi-scale transform for representing geometric objects that has been recently investigated [1, 7, 10]. The restrictive role of the exact order of polynomial reproduction $P_e$ of the…
We introduce B-splines on the line of quaternionic order $B_q$ ($q$ in the algebra of quaternions) for the purposes of multi-channel signal and image analysis. The functions $B_q$ are defined first by their Fourier transforms, then as the…
A new representation of splines that targets efficiency in the analysis of functional data is implemented. The efficiency is achieved through two novel features: using the recently introduced orthonormal spline bases, the so-called {\it…
Spline functions have long been used in numerically solving differential equations. Recently it revives as isogeometric analysis, which uses NURBS for both parametrization and element functions. In this paper, we introduce some multivariate…
In this article, we consider some generalizations of polynomial and exponential B-splines. Firstly, the extension from integral to complex orders is reviewed and presented. The second generalization involves the construction of uncountable…
A new differential-recurrence relation for the B-spline functions of the same degree is proved. From this relation, a recursive method of computing the coefficients of B-spline functions of degree $m$ in the Bernstein-B\'{e}zier form is…

We present a new refinement strategy for locally refined B-splines which ensures the local linear independence of the basis functions. The strategy also guarantees the spanning of the full spline space on the underlying locally refined…
We introduce discrete analogues of the exponential, sine, and cosine functions. Then using a discrete trigonometric version of a non-polynomial divided difference, we define discrete analogues of the trigonometric B-splines. We derive a…
