ABSTRACT
This paper presents a discretization technique for particle dynamics equation based on the B-spline interpolation of the solution. The method is developed in the general framework recently proposed by the authors. Numerical tests include the coagulation-growth of the exponential distribution and of a cosine hill in logarithmic coordinates.

B-splines with homogenized knots
The use of homogenized knots for manipulating univariate polynomials by blossoming algorithms is extended to piecewise polynomials. A generalization of the B-spline to homogenized knots is studied. The new B-spline retains the triangular blossoming ...

Quantum B-splines
AbstractQuantum splines are piecewise polynomials whose quantum derivatives (i.e. certain discrete derivatives or equivalently certain divided differences) agree up to some order at the joins. Just like classical splines, quantum splines admit a canonical ...
