We introduce an interpolation--regression operator for polynomial approximation on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ from discrete samples. The approximant is a spherical polynomial of degree $r$ which interpolates the data on a prescribed…
Problems involving approximation from scattered data where data is arranged quasi-uniformly have been treated by RBF methods for decades. Treating data with spatially varying density has not been investigated with the same intensity, and is…

To interpolate a supersparse polynomial with integer coefficients, two alternative approaches are the Prony-based "big prime" technique, which acts over a single large finite field, or the more recently-proposed "small primes" technique,…
In this work we apply commonly known methods of non-adaptive interpolation (nearest pixel, bilinear, B-spline, bicubic, Hermite spline) and sampling (point sampling, supersampling, mip-map pre-filtering, rip-map pre-filtering and FAST) to…

Given points $P_1,P_2,\ldots,P_m$ in the complex plane, we are concerned with the problem of finding an interpolating curve with minimal bending energy (i.e., an optimal interpolating curve). It was shown previously that existence is…
B-splines are widely used in the fields of reverse engineering and computer-aided design, due to their superior properties. Traditional B-spline surface interpolation algorithms usually assume regularity of the data distribution. In this…
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…
We study monotone Hermite interpolation on an interval, where both function values and first derivatives are prescribed at the nodes. Among all $C^{1,1}$ interpolants, we seek one with optimal curvature, measured by $\|F''\|_{L^\infty}$. In…
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…
