Partitions of unity in ${\mathbf R}^d$ formed by (matrix) scales of a fixed function appear in many parts of harmonic analysis, e.g., wavelet analysis and the analysis of Triebel-Lizorkin spaces. We give a simple characterization of the…

Non-uniform B-spline dictionaries on a compact interval are discussed. For each given partition, dictionaries of B-spline functions for the corresponding spline space are constructed. It is asserted that, by dividing the given partition…
We consider a methodology based in B-splines scaling functions to numerically invert Fourier or Laplace transforms of functions in the space $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. The original function is approximated by a finite combination of $j^{th}$ order…
Functional equations satisfied by additive functions have a special interest not only in the theory of functional equations, but also in the theory of (commutative) algebra because the fundamental notions such as derivations and…
Reachable Minimally supported (RM) B-splines have been recently introduced as a novel B-spline--like basis. They feature local linear independence and admit a fast de Boor--like evaluation algorithm. These properties make them particularly…
New differential-recurrence relations for B-spline basis functions are given. Using these relations, a recursive method for finding the Bernstein-B\'{e}zier coefficients of B-spline basis functions over a single knot span is proposed. The…
Normalizing flows have been successfully modeling a complex probability distribution as an invertible transformation of a simple base distribution. However, there are often applications that require more than invertibility. For instance,…
We explore extended B-splines as a stable basis for isogeometric analysis with trimmed parameter spaces. The stabilization is accomplished by an appropriate substitution of B-splines that may lead to ill-conditioned system matrices. The…
Functions on a bounded domain in scientific computing are often approximated using piecewise polynomial approximations on meshes that adapt to the shape of the geometry. We study the problem of function approximation using splines on a…
