Quasi-Splines and their moduli

We study what we call quasi-spline sheaves over locally Noetherian schemes. This is done with the intention of considering splines from the point of view of moduli theory. In other words, we study the way in which certain objects that arise in the theory of splines can be made to depend on parameters. In addition to quasi-spline sheaves, we treat ideal difference-conditions, and individual quasi- splines. Under certain hypotheses each of these types of objects admits a fine moduli scheme. The moduli of quasi-spline sheaves is proper, and there is a natural compactification of the moduli of ideal difference-conditions. We include some speculation on the uses of these moduli in the theory of splines and topology, and an appendix with a treatment of the Billera-Rose homogenization in scheme theoretic language

Stable splitting of bivariate spline spaces by Bernstein-Bézier methods

We develop stable splitting of the minimal determining sets for the spaces of bivariate C1 splines on triangulations, including a modified Argyris space, Clough-Tocher, Powell-Sabin and quadrilateral macro-element spaces. This leads to the stable splitting of the corresponding bases as required in Böhmer's method for solving fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs on polygonal domains

Almost-C1C^1 splines: Biquadratic splines on unstructured quadrilateral meshes and their application to fourth order problems

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 Computer-Aided Design models, which is in general a non-trivial and time-consuming task. In this article, we present a novel spline construction, that enables model reconstruction as well as simulation of high-order PDEs on the reconstructed models. The proposed almost-$C^1$ are biquadratic splines on fully unstructured quadrilateral meshes (without restrictions on placements or number of extraordinary vertices). They are $C^1$ smooth almost everywhere, that is, at all vertices and across most edges, and in addition almost (i.e. approximately) $C^1$ smooth across all other edges. Thus, the splines form $H^2$-nonconforming analysis-suitable discretization spaces. This is the lowest-degree unstructured spline construction that can be used to solve fourth-order problems. The associated spline basis is non-singular and has several B-spline-like properties (e.g., partition of unity, non-negativity, local support), the almost-$C^1$ splines are described in an explicit B\'ezier-extraction-based framework that can be easily implemented. Numerical tests suggest that the basis is well-conditioned and exhibits optimal approximation behavior

Parametric Interpolation To Scattered Data [QA281. A995 2008 f rb].

Dua skema interpolasi berparameter yang mengandungi interpolasi global untuk data tersebar am dan interpolasi pengekalan-kepositifan setempat data tersebar positif dibincangkan. Two schemes of parametric interpolation consisting of a global scheme to interpolate general scattered data and a local positivity-preserving scheme to interpolate positive scattered data are described

Filling holes under non-linear constraints

Publisher Copyright: © 2023, The Author(s).In this paper we handle the problem of filling the hole in the graphic of a surface by means of a patch that joins the original surface with C1-smoothness and fulfills an additional non-linear geometrical constraint regarding its area or its mean curvature at some points. Furthermore, we develop a technique to estimate the optimum area that the filling patch is expected to have that will allow us to determine optimum filling patches by means of a system of linear and quadratic equations. We present several numerical and graphical examples showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.publishersversionpublishe
