The paper is devoted to problem of spline approximation. A new method of nodes location for curves and surfaces computer construction by means of B-splines and results of simulink-modeling is presented. The advantages of this paper is that…
The P-splines of Eilers and Marx (1996) combine a B-spline basis with a discrete quadratic penalty on the basis coefficients, to produce a reduced rank spline like smoother. P-splines have three properties that make them very popular as…
The paper motivates high dimensional smoothing with penalized splines and its numerical calculation in an efficient way. If smoothing is carried out over three or more covariates the classical tensor product spline bases explode in their…
We propose a multidimensional smoothing spline algorithm in the context of manifold learning. We generalize the bending energy penalty of thin-plate splines to a quadratic form on the Sobolev space of a flat manifold, based on the Frobenius…
Image segmentation is a popular area of research in computer vision that has many applications in automated image processing. A recent technique called piecewise flat embeddings (PFE) has been proposed for use in image segmentation; PFE…
In some real world applications, such as spectrometry, functional models achieve better predictive performances if they work on the derivatives of order m of their inputs rather than on the original functions. As a consequence, the use of…
Interpolation of data on non-Euclidean spaces is an active research area fostered by its numerous applications. This work considers the Hermite interpolation problem: finding a sufficiently smooth manifold curve that interpolates a…

Active subspaces are an emerging set of tools for identifying and exploiting the most important directions in the space of a computer simulation's input parameters; these directions depend on the simulation's quantity of interest, which we…
Partition functions of certain classes of "spin glass" models in statistical physics show strong connections to combinatorial graph invariants. Also known as homomorphism functions they allow for the representation of many such invariants,…
Recent innovations from machine learning allow for data unfolding, without binning and including correlations across many dimensions. We describe a set of known, upgraded, and new methods for ML-based unfolding. The performance of these…
Closed subschemes in projective space with a fixed Hilbert polynomial are parametrized by a Hilbert scheme. We classify the smooth ones. We identify numerical conditions on a polynomial that completely determine when the Hilbert scheme is…
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…
We present a local interpolation method in four dimensions utilising cubic splines. An extension of the three-dimensional tricubic method, the interpolated function has C$^1$ continuity and its partial derivatives are analytically…
We introduce here Cartesian splines or, for short, C-splines. C- splines are piecewise polynomials which are defined on adjacent Cartesian coordinate systems and are Cr continuous throughout. The Cr continuity is enforced by constraining…
