Capturing outlines of generic shapes with cubic B´ezier curves using the Nelder–Mead simplex method [PDF]

open access: yesIranian Journal of Numerical Analysis and Optimization, 2019
We design a fast technique for fitting cubic B´ezier curves to the boundary of 2D shapes. The technique is implemented by means of the Nelder–Mead simplex procedure to optimize the control points.

What are the limits of efficiency for the application of bi-cubic splines in a regional weather prediction grid point model?

open access: yesMeteorologische Zeitschrift, 2000
Single (one-dimensional) and bi-cubic (two-dimensional) splines have been used in numerical weather prediction models since about 1970. Especially the semi-Lagrangian advection schemes have been developed with the help of the spline interpolation method.

Fast spline quasicollocation solvers of integral equations

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2007
A fast (C, Cm) solver for linear Fredholm integral equations u = Tu+f with smooth data is constructed on the basis of a discrete version of the spline quasicollocation method.

D-splines: Estimating rate schedules using high-dimensional splines with empirical demographic penalties

open access: yesDemographic Research, 2021
Background: High-dimensional parametric models with penalized likelihood functions strike a good balance between bias and variance for estimating continuous age schedules from large samples. The penalized spline (P-spline) approach is particularly useful

Isogeometric analysis of large-deformation thin shells using RHT-splines for multiple-patch coupling

open access: yes, 2017
We present an isogeometric thin shell formulation for multi-patches based on rational splines over hierarchical T-meshes (RHT-splines). Nitsche’s method is employed to efficiently couple the patches.

Splines Are Universal Solutions of Linear Inverse Problems with Generalized TV Regularization [PDF]

open access: yesSIAM Review, 2016
Splines come in a variety of flavors that can be characterized in terms of some differential operator $L$. The simplest piecewise-constant model corresponds to the derivative operator.

Cardinal approximation of functions by splines on an interval

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2009
The cardinal interpolant of functions on the real line by splines is determined by certain formula free of solving large or infinite systems. We apply this formula to functions given on the interval [0,1] introducing special extensions of functions from [

Crossing Scales: Data-Driven Determination of the Micro-scale Behavior of Polymers From Non-homogeneous Tests at the Continuum-Scale

open access: yesFrontiers in Materials, 2022
We propose an efficient method to determine the micro-structural entropic behavior of polymer chains directly from a sufficiently rich non-homogeneous experiment at the continuum scale.

Degenerate matrices methods by splines for boundary values problems of ordinary differential equations

open access: yesMathematical Modelling and Analysis, 2005
A method for numerical solving of boundary values problems of ordinary differential equations based on the use of splines and differentiation matrices with nodes as zeroes of classical orthogonal polynomials is considered. Possibilities of the method are

P-splines with derivative based penalties and tensor product smoothing of unevenly distributed data [PDF]

open access: yesStatistics and computing, 2016
The P-splines of Eilers and Marx (Stat Sci 11:89–121, 1996) combine a B-spline basis with a discrete quadratic penalty on the basis coefficients, to produce a reduced rank spline like smoother.
