Hermite subdivision schemes, exponential polynomial generation, and annihilators
We consider the question when the so--called spectral condition} for Hermite
subdivision schemes extends to spaces generated by polynomials and exponential
functions. The main tool are convolution operators that annihilate the space in
question which apparently is a general concept in the study of various types of
subdivision operators. Based on these annihilators, we characterize the
spectral condition in terms of factorization of the subdivision operator
Exponential Splines and Pseudo-Splines: Generation versus reproduction of exponential polynomials
Subdivision schemes are iterative methods for the design of smooth curves and
surfaces. Any linear subdivision scheme can be identified by a sequence of
Laurent polynomials, also called subdivision symbols, which describe the linear
rules determining successive refinements of coarse initial meshes. One
important property of subdivision schemes is their capability of exactly
reproducing in the limit specific types of functions from which the data is
sampled. Indeed, this property is linked to the approximation order of the
scheme and to its regularity. When the capability of reproducing polynomials is
required, it is possible to define a family of subdivision schemes that allows
to meet various demands for balancing approximation order, regularity and
support size. The members of this family are known in the literature with the
name of pseudo-splines. In case reproduction of exponential polynomials instead
of polynomials is requested, the resulting family turns out to be the
non-stationary counterpart of the one of pseudo-splines, that we here call the
family of exponential pseudo-splines. The goal of this work is to derive the
explicit expressions of the subdivision symbols of exponential pseudo-splines
and to study their symmetry properties as well as their convergence and
regularity.Comment: 25 page
Beyond B-splines: Exponential pseudo-splines and subdivision schemes reproducing exponential polynomials
The main goal of this paper is to present some generalizations of polynomial B-splines, which include exponential B-splines and the larger family of exponential pseudo-splines. We especially focus on their connections to subdivision schemes. In addition, we generalize a well-known result on the approximation order of exponential pseudo-splines, providing conditions to establish the approximation order of nonstationary subdivision schemes reproducing spaces of exponential polynomial function
