B-splines are fundamental to approximation and data fitting, geometric modeling, automated manufacturing, computer graphics and numerical simulation. With an emphasis on key results and methods that are most widely used in practice, this book provides a unified introduction to the basic components o[...]
Describes new weighted approximation techniques, combining the computational advantages of B-splines and standard finite elements.[...]
This book on box splines is the first book giving a complete development for any kind of multivariate spline. Box splines give rise to an intriguing and beautiful mathematical theory that is much richer and more intricate than the univariate case because of the complexity of smoothly joining polynom[...]
