A note on tension spline

Segeth, Karel

Similarity:

Spline theory is mainly grounded on two approaches: the algebraic one (where splines are understood as piecewise smooth functions) and the variational one (where splines are obtained via minimization of quadratic functionals with constraints). We show that the general variational approach called smooth interpolation introduced by Talmi and Gilat covers not only the cubic spline but also the well known tension spline (called also spline in tension or spline with tension). We present the...

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...

Natural and smoothing quadratic spline. (An elementary approach)

Jiří Kobza, Dušan Zápalka (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

For quadratic spine interpolating local integrals (mean-values) on a given mesh the conditions of existence and uniqueness, construction under various boundary conditions and other properties are studied. The extremal property of such's spline allows us to present an elementary construction and an algorithm for computing needed parameters of such quadratic spline smoothing given mean-values. Examples are given illustrating the results.

A particular smooth interpolation that generates splines

Segeth, Karel

Similarity:

There are two grounds the spline theory stems from – the algebraic one (where splines are understood as piecewise smooth functions satisfying some continuity conditions) and the variational one (where splines are obtained via minimization of some quadratic functionals with constraints). We use the general variational approach called 𝑠𝑚𝑜𝑜𝑡ℎ𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑝𝑜𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 introduced by Talmi and Gilat and show that it covers not only the cubic spline and its 2D and 3D analogues but also the well known tension spline (called...

Interpolating and smoothing biquadratic spline

Radek Kučera (1995)

Applications of Mathematics

Similarity:

The paper deals with the biquadratic splines and their use for the interpolation in two variables on the rectangular mesh. The possibilities are shown how to interpolate function values, values of the partial derivative or values of the mixed derivative. Further, the so-called smoothing biquadratic splines are defined and the algorithms for their computation are described. All of these biquadratic splines are derived by means of the tensor product of the linear spaces of the quadratic...
