Eulerian numbers: A spline perspective

In this paper, the spline interpretations of Eulerian numbers and refined Eulerian numbers are presented. Many classical results about Eulerian numbers can follow from the properties of B-splines directly, and some new results about the refined Eulerian numbers and descent polynomials are also derived. Specifically, the explicit and recurrence formulas for the refined Eulerian numbers and descent polynomials are obtained. This paper also provides a new approach to study Eulerian numbers.     

New spline spaces with generalized tension properties

The paper describes a new space of variable degree polynomials. This space is isomorphic to ℙ₆, possesses a Bernstein like basis and has generalized tension properties in the sense that, for limit values of the degrees, its functions approximate quadratic polynomials. The corresponding space of C ³, variable degree splines is also studied. This spline space can be profitably used in the construction of shape preserving curves or surfaces.

Tensor-product monotonicity preservation

This paper studies systems of tensor-product functions for which the functions they span are monotonic in any direction when their control nets are monotonic in that direction. It is shown that Bernstein polynomials and B-splines have this property but that totally positive systems in general, such as certain trigonometric and rational bases, do not. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Two-scale symbol and autocorrelation symbol for B-splines with multiple knots

The Fourier transforms of B-splines with multiple integer knots are shown to satisfy a simple recursion relation. This recursion formula is applied to derive a generalized two-scale relation for B-splines with multiple knots. Furthermore, the structure of the corresponding autocorrelation symbol is investigated. In particular, it can be observed that the solvability of the cardinal Hermite spline interpolation problem for spline functions of degree 2m+1 and defectr, first considered by Lipow and Schoenberg [9], is equivalent to the Riesz basis property of our B-splines with degreem and defectr. In this way we obtain a new, simple proof for the assertion that the cardinal Hermite spline interpolation problem in [9] has a unique solution.

Testing for additivity with B-splines

Regression splines are often used for fitting nonparametric functions, and they work especially well for additivity models. In this paper, we consider two simple tests of additivity: an adaptation of Tukey's one degree of freedom test and a nonparametric version of Rao's score test. While the Tukey-type test can detect most forms of the local non-additivity at the parametric rate of O(n-1/2), the score test is consistent for all alternative at a nonparametric rate. The asymptotic distribution of these test statistics is derived under both the null and local alternative hypotheses. A simulation study is conducted to compare their finite-sample performances with some existing kernel-based tests. The score test is found to have a good overall performance.     

Kernel B-splines and interpolation

This paper applies difference operators to conditionally positive definite kernels in order to generate kernel -splines that have fast decay towards infinity. Interpolation by these new kernels provides better condition of the linear system, while the kernel -spline inherits the approximation orders from its native kernel. We proceed in two different ways: either the kernel -spline is constructed adaptively on the data knot set , or we use a fixed difference scheme and shift its associated kernel -spline around. In the latter case, the kernel -spline so obtained is strictly positive in general. Furthermore, special kernel -splines obtained by hexagonal second finite differences of multiquadrics are studied in more detail. We give suggestions in order to get a consistent improvement of the condition of the interpolation matrix in applications.     

Additive Function-on-Function Regression

We study additive function-on-function regression where the mean response at a particular time point depends on the time point itself, as well as the entire covariate trajectory. We develop a computationally efficient estimation methodology based on a novel combination of spline bases with an eigenbasis to represent the trivariate kernel function. We discuss prediction of a new response trajectory, propose an inference procedure that accounts for total variability in the predicted response curves, and construct pointwise prediction intervals. The estimation/inferential procedure accommodates realistic scenarios, such as correlated error structure as well as sparse and/or irregular designs. We investigate our methodology in finite sample size through simulations and two real data applications. Supplementary material for this article is available online.     

A parameter-uniform scheme for singularly perturbed partial differential equations with a time lag

A numerical scheme for a class of singularly perturbed delay parabolic partial differential equations which has wide applications in the various branches of science and engineering is suggested. The solution of these problems exhibits a parabolic boundary layer on the lateral side of the rectangular domain which continuously depends on the perturbation parameter. For the small perturbation parameter, the standard numerical schemes for the solution of these problems fail to resolve the boundary layer(s) and the oscillations occur near the boundary layer. Thus, in this paper to resolve the boundary layer the extended cubic B-spline basis functions consisting of a free parameter λ are used on a fitted-mesh. The extended B-splines are the extension of classical B-splines. To find the best value of λ the optimization technique is adopted. The extended cubic B-splines are an advantage over the classical B-splines as for some optimized value of λ the solution obtained by the extended B-splines is better than the solution obtained by classical B-splines. The method is shown to be first-order accurate in t and almost the second-order accurate in x. It is also shown that this method is better than some existing methods. Several test problems are encountered to validate the theoretical results.
