Multivariate spline functions, B-spline bases and polynomial interpolations II
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.
Steady-state nonlinear differential equations govering the stem curve of a wind-loaded pine are derived and solved numerically. Comparison is made between the results computed and the data from photographs of a pine stem during strong wind. The pine breaking is solved at the end.
We study the problem of interpolation by a complete spline of 2n − 1 degree given in B-spline representation. Explicit formulas for the first nand the last ncoefficients of B-spline decomposition are found. It is shown that other B-spline coefficients can be computed as a solution of a banded system of an equitype linear equations.
