This scheme takes into ac- count the periodicity of the analytic solution by using derivatives of a periodic quasi-interpolant （multiquadric trigonometric B-spline quasi-interpolant） to approximate the spatial derivatives of the equations. Thus, it overcomes the difficulties of the previous schemes based on quasi-interpolation （requiring some additional boundary conditions and yielding unwanted high-order discontinuous points at the boundaries in the spatial domain）. Moreover, the scheme also overcomes the dif- ficulty of the meshless collocation methods （i.e., yielding a notorious ill-conditioned linear system of equations for large collocation points）. The numerical examples that are presented at the end of the paper show that the scheme provides excellent approximations to the analytic solutions.展开更多

We obtain a numerical scheme by using the derivative of the quasi-interpolation to approximate the spatial derivative and a difference scheme to approximate the temporal derivative. The advantage of the obtained scheme is that the algorithm is very simple so that it is very easy to implement. The results of numerical experiments are presented and compared with analytical solutions to confirm the good accuracy of the presented scheme.展开更多

In fact, generator is a single function that can generate the basis as well as the whole function space. It is a more fundamental concept than basis. Various properties of generator are also discussed. Moreover, a special generator named multiquadric function is introduced. Based on the multiquadric generator, the multiquadric quasi-interpolation scheme is constructed, and furthermore, the properties of this kind of quasi-interpolation are discussed to show its better capacity and stability in approximating the high order derivatives.展开更多

It solves transport equations as a generalized interpolation problem, taking the first-order accuracy in time and the second-order accuracy in space along with a predictor–corrector or under-relaxation iteration method. Numerical tests show that BITS can solve one-dimensional transport equations for tokamak plasma more accurately without additional computation cost, compared to the finite difference method transport solver which is widely used in existing tokamak transport codes.展开更多

The self-developed MQK3102 log shape recognizing machine was used to acquire the finite discrete sampling points on the cross section of log and those points were fitted with the quadratic B-spline parametric curve. This method can clearly stimulate the real shape of the log cross section and is characterized by limited sampling points and high speed computing. The computed result of the previous curve does not affect the next one, which may avoid the graphic distortion caused by the accumulative error. The method can be used to simulate the whole body shape of log approximately by sampling the cross sections along the length direction of log, thus providing a reference model for optimum saw cutting of log.展开更多
