We introduce here a direct method to construct multivariate explicit B-spline bases. B-splines are piecewise polynomials, which are defined on adjacent tetrahedra and which are $C^{r}$ continuous throughout. The $C^{r}$ continuity is…
We tensorize the Faber spline system from [14] to prove sequence space isomorphisms for multivariate function spaces with higher mixed regularity. The respective basis coefficients are local linear combinations of discrete function values…
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…
A spline is an assignment of polynomials to the vertices of a graph, where the difference of two polynomials along an edge must belong to the ideal labeling that edge. We consider a ring of splines $\mathcal{M}_{H}$ constructed on a graph…
Multivariate piecewise polynomial functions (or splines) on polyhedral complexes have been extensively studied over the past decades and find applications in diverse areas of applied mathematics including numerical analysis, approximation…
We study automorphisms and invariants for the algebra $\mathbb{O}$ of octonions and octonionic slice regular functions $f:\mathbb{O} \to \mathbb{O}$.
A normalizing flow models a complex probability density as an invertible transformation of a simple base density. Flows based on either coupling or autoregressive transforms both offer exact density evaluation and sampling, but rely on the…
Some power series representations of the modified Bessel functions (McDonald functions $K_{\alpha}$) are derived using the relatively little known formalism of fractional derivatives. The resulting summation formulae are believed to be new.
Every real Bank-Laine function of finite order, whose zeros are all real but neither bounded above nor bounded below, either has an explicit representation in terms of trigonometric functions or has zeros with exponent of convergence at…
In this paper we study some fundamental algebraic properties of slice functions and slice regular functions over an alternative $^*$-algebra $A$ over $\mathbb{R}$. These recently introduced function theories generalize to higher dimensions…
We study the $\ell^1$-summability of functions in the $d$-dimensional torus $\mathbb{T}^d$ and so-called $\ell^1$-invariant functions. Those are functions on the torus whose Fourier coefficients depend only on the $\ell^1$-norm of their…
A prescription for constructing dictionaries for cardinal spline spaces on a compact interval is provided. It is proved that such spaces can be spanned by dictionaries which are built by translating a prototype B-spline function of fixed…
We observe algebraic derivations on an affine domain B defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, which are called locally finite derivations in commutative and non-commutative contexts in other references. We observe…
The novel Locally Refined B-spline (LR B-spline) surface format is suited for representing terrain and seabed data in a compact way. It provides an alternative to the well know raster and triangulated surface representations. An LR B-spline…
Splines are useful building blocks when constructing priors on nonparametric models indexed by functions. Recently it has been established in the literature that hierarchical priors based on splines with a random number of equally spaced…
Isogeometric Analysis generalizes classical finite element analysis and intends to integrate it with the field of Computer-Aided Design. A central problem in achieving this objective is the reconstruction of analysis-suitable models from…
The extended definition of the polynomial B-splines may give a chance to improve the results obtained by the classical cubic polynomial B-splines. Determination of the optimum value of the extension parameter can be achieved by scanning…
We define the local trace function for subspaces of $\ltworn$ which are invariant under integer translation. Our trace function contains the dimension function and the spectral function defined by Bownik and Rzeszotnik and completely…
We introduce new manifold-based splines that are able to exactly reproduce B-splines on unstructured surface meshes. Such splines can be used in isogeometric analysis (IGA) to represent smooth surfaces of arbitrary topology. Since prevalent…
For spaces of constant, linear, and quadratic splines of maximal smoothness on the Powell-Sabin 12-split of a triangle, the so-called S-bases were recently introduced. These are simplex spline bases with B-spline-like properties on the…
