Quadratic splines smoothing the first derivatives

Jiří Kobza (1992)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The extremal property of quadratic splines interpolating the first derivatives is proved. Quadratic spline smoothing the given values of the first derivative, depending on the knot weights w i and smoothing parameter α , is then studied. The algorithm for computing appropriate parameters of such splines is given and the dependence on the smoothing parameter α is mentioned.

Application of splines for determining the velocity characteristic of a medium from a vertical seismic survey

Vladimir Bogdanov, Wladimir Karsten, Valeriy Miroshnichenko, Yuriy Volkov (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

A method for solving the inverse kinematic problem of determining the velocity characteristic of a medium from a vertical seismic survey, is proposed. It is based on the combined use of the eikonal equation and spline methods of approximation for multivariable functions. The problem is solved by assuming a horizontally stratified medium; no assumptions about the number of layers and their thickness are made. First, using the data of the first arrival times of the seismic signal from...
