Abstract

This paper presents a new kind of uniform splines, called hyperbolic polynomial B-splines, generated over the space $Ω= span {sinh t, cosh t,t^{k−3},t^{k−4},…,t,1}$ in which k is an arbitrary integer larger than or equal to 3. Hyperbolic polynomial B-splines share most of the properties as those of the B-splines in the polynomial space. We give the subdivision formulae for this new kind of curves and then prove that they have the variation dimishing properties and the control polygons of the subdivisions converge. Hyperbolic polynomial B-splines can take care of freeform curves as well as some remarkable curves such as the hyperbola and the catenary. The generation of tensor product surfaces by these new splines is straightforward. Examples of such tensor product surfaces: the saddle surface, the catenary cylinder, and a certain kind of ruled surface are given in this paper.

Non-uniform subdivision schemes of ωB-spline curves and surfaces with variable parameters
2023, CAD Computer Aided Design
Citation Excerpt :
They define a smooth curve/surface as the limit of successive refinements of the original control polygon/mesh. The simplicity of application of subdivision schemes to represent complex surfaces justifies their extension in a wide variety of fields [4–10]. If the subdivision rule remains unchanged in each level of subdivision, the subdivision scheme is stationary, otherwise, it is non-stationary.
In this paper, we propose a new non-uniform subdivision scheme that includes a tension parameters sequence. Each tension parameter of the sequence is assigned at each edge of the initial control polygon. The proposed scheme can produce limiting curves that are more consistent with the original data points and the control polygon. It has also the advantage of generating a wide variety of shapes for the limiting curves. Moreover, to produce smooth limit surfaces, the proposed scheme is firstly extended to tensor-product surfaces, then to meshes of arbitrary topology. The convergence and smoothness of the proposed scheme are proven. Numerical results that illustrate the advantages of the proposed non-uniform scheme are given.
α-B-splines non-stationary subdivision schemes for grids of arbitrary topology design

We refer the interested reader to [10,20–24], and references therein, for further publications on non-stationary techniques that generate various types of curves/surfaces. In connection with the construction of the non-stationary subdivision schemes generating different kinds of curves/surfaces, Lü et al. (see [25,26]) proposed subdivision schemes for uniform algebraic-trigonometric B-spline (UAT) curves and uniform algebraic–hyperbolic (UAH) curves. Zhang et al. (see [27]) unified CB-splines and HB-splines into FB-splines (Functional B-splines) by a unified base.
This paper proposes a new class of B-spline-like functions that blend trigonometric and hyperbolic functions. A new family of non-stationary subdivision schemes of order $k \geq 3$ has been built using the refinement of these B-splines. The schemes yield a $C^{k - 2}$ limit curve that represents the spline. A tensor-product subdivision approach is used to produce a limit surface from an initial mesh with regular vertices. For extraordinary vertices, new rules are proposed. Except at extraordinary points, where they are $C^{1}$ continuous, the scheme generates $C^{k - 2}$ continuous limit surfaces. The proposed scheme is a particular case of many well-known curve and surface subdivision schemes. Some examples are given to demonstrate how well the new schemes perform in generating various shapes of limit curves and surfaces.
Algebraic and geometric characterizations of a class of Algebraic-Hyperbolic Pythagorean-Hodograph curves
2022, Computer Aided Geometric Design
In this paper, we study algebraic and geometric characteristics of a class of Algebraic-Hyperbolic curves that possess Pythagorean-Hodograph (PH) properties, which are called AHPH curves. These curves are defined on the space $Γ_{n} = span {1, t, \dots, t^{n - 3}, \sinh t, \cosh t}$ , $n \in N ﹨ {1, 2}$ . We prove that all non-degenerate AHPH curves belong to $Γ_{4}$ . For this particular case, we give an explicit expression in terms of canonical basis functions. To reveal the geometric properties of AHPH curves, we study the geometric constraints on their Bézier like control polygons. The main result shows that an AH curve is an AHPH curve if and only if the interior angles of its control polygon are equal, and the second leg-length of the control polygon is the geometric mean of the other two leg-lengths. Our main idea is to represent a planar parametric curve in complex form. As an application, we give some examples of $G^{1}$ Hermite interpolation using AHPH curves. We point out that there are no more than two AHPH curves for any given $G^{1}$ Hermite conditions.
A new technique for numerical solution of 1D and 2D non-linear coupled Burgers’ equations by using cubic Uniform Algebraic Trigonometric (UAT) tension B-spline based differential quadrature method
2021, Ain Shams Engineering Journal
In present paper, a new technique is developed named Uniform Algebraic Trigonometric (UAT) tension B-spline based DQM, for the better numerical approximation of coupled 1D and coupled 2D Burgers’ equation. The formula of UAT tension B-spline of order 4 is developed in this paper, by using above-mentioned basis function. Strong stability preserving SSP-RK 43 method is implemented to solve obtained ordinary differential equations. To check the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed scheme, $L_{2}$ and $L_{\infty}$ error norms are used. Four numerical experiments are discussed to put light upon applicability of scheme. By means of tables and figures, results obtained are given. Obtained results are in a good agreement with existing ones. Stability of proposed scheme is also checked by implementing the Matrix stability analysis method. This novel scheme will surely open some new dimensions in the field of numerical approximation, for other researchers in their future work.
