Properties. A B-spline function is a combination of flexible bands that is controlled by a number of points that are called control points, creating smooth curves. These functions are used to create and manage complex shapes and surfaces using a number of points. B-spline function and Bézier functions are applied extensively in shape ...
Spline interpolation. In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, spline interpolation is a form of interpolation where the interpolant is a special type of piecewise polynomial called a spline. That is, instead of fitting a single, high-degree polynomial to all of the values at once, spline interpolation fits low-degree polynomials to ...
Spline (mathematics) For the drafting tool, see Flat spline. Single knots at 1/3 and 2/3 establish a spline of three cubic polynomials meeting with C2 parametric continuity. Triple knots at both ends of the interval ensure that the curve interpolates the end points. In mathematics, a spline is a function defined piecewise by polynomials.
De Boor's algorithm. In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, de Boor's algorithm[1] is a polynomial-time and numerically stable algorithm for evaluating spline curves in B-spline form. It is a generalization of de Casteljau's algorithm for Bézier curves. The algorithm was devised by German-American mathematician Carl R. de Boor.
Calculus. In calculus, interchange of the order of integration is a methodology that transforms iterated integrals (or multiple integrals through the use of Fubini's theorem) of functions into other, hopefully simpler, integrals by changing the order in which the integrations are performed.
The Lagrange form of the interpolation polynomial shows the linear character of polynomial interpolation and the uniqueness of the interpolation polynomial. Therefore, it is preferred in proofs and theoretical arguments. Uniqueness can also be seen from the invertibility of the Vandermonde matrix, due to the non-vanishing of the Vandermonde ...
Order of integration. In statistics, the order of integration, denoted I (d), of a time series is a summary statistic, which reports the minimum number of differences required to obtain a covariance-stationary series.
The cardinal B-splines are defined recursively starting from the B-spline of order 1, namely (), which takes the value 1 in the interval [0, 1) and 0 elsewhere. Computer algebra systems may have to be employed to obtain concrete expressions for higher order cardinal B-splines.
