Bayesian Varying-coefficient Models using Adaptive Regression Splines [PDF]
Varying-coefficient models provide a flexible framework for semi- and nonparametric generalized regression analysis. We present a fully Bayesian B-spline basis function approach with adaptive knot selection.

Smoothing under Diffeomorphic Constraints with Homeomorphic Splines [PDF]
In this paper we introduce a new class of diffeomorphic smoothers based on general spline smoothing techniques and on the use of some tools that have been recently developed in the context of image warping to compute smooth diffeomorphisms.

Computational form-finding methods for fabric structures [PDF]
Form-finding is a process that determines the surface configuration of a fabric structure under prestress. This process can be carried out using a variety of numerical methods, of which the most common are (a) transient stiffness, (b) force density, and (

Numerical approximations of second-order matrix differential equations using higher-degree splines [PDF]
Many studies of mechanical systems in engineering are based on second-order matrix models. This work discusses the second-order generalization of previous research on matrix differential equations dealing with the construction of approximate solutions ...

For many networks in nature, science and technology, it is possible to order the nodes so that most links are short-range, connecting near-neighbours, and relatively few long-range links, or shortcuts, are present.

Towards recovery of complex shapes in meshes using digital images for reverse engineering applications [PDF]
When an object owns complex shapes, or when its outer surfaces are simply inaccessible, some of its parts may not be captured during its reverse engineering. These deficiencies in the point cloud result in a set of holes in the reconstructed mesh.
