CURVE AND SURFACE INTERPOLATIONBY SUBDIVISION ALGORITHMS

Interpolatory subdivision algorithms for the generation of curves and surfaces play a veryimportant rule in shape design and modelling in CAD/CAM systems. In this paper, by using the dif-ference and divided difference analysis, a systematic method to construct Cn (n≥ 0) interpolatorycurves by subdivision from given data is described and the mask (filter) of the algorithm is presentedexplicitly. This algorithm generates a Cn smooth curve which interpolates the initial control points.Control parameters are also provided so that the shape of the final curve can be adjusted according torequirements. An immediate generalisation of the method is the construction of smooth interpolatorysubdivision algorithms over uniform triangular networks (tensor product type data) in Rm. The mainresults of this algorithm for smooth interpolatory surface subdivision algorrthm are also included.AMS(MOS) : 65D05 , 65D15 , 65D17.

SMOOTH SURFACE INTERPOLATION OVER ARBITRARY TRIANGULATIONS BY SUBDIVISION ALGORITHMS

A smooth interpolatory subdivision algorithm for the generation of surfaces over arbi-trary triangulations is introduced and its convergence properties over nonuniform triangulationsstudied. For uniform data, this method is a generalization of the analysis for univariatesubdivision algorithms and for nonuniform data, an extraordinary point analysis is introducedand the local subdivision matrix anaiysis presented. It is proved that the algorithm producessmooth surfaces over arbitrary triangular networks provided the shape parameters are kept with-in an appropriate range. Finally, two graphical examples of surface interpolation overnonuniform data are given to show the smoothing process of the algorithm.AMS (MOS): 65D05, 65D15,65D17.

ANN model of subdivision error based on genetic algorithm

According to the test data of subdivision errors in the measuring cycle of angular measuring system, the characteristics of subdivision errors generated by this system are analyzed. It is found that the subdivision errors are mainly due to the rotary-type inductosyn itself. For the characteristic of cyclical change, the subdivision errors in other measuring cycles can be compensated by the subdivision error model in one measuring cycle. Using the measured error data as training samples, combining GA and BP algorithm, an ANN model of subdivision error is designed. Simulation results indicate that GA reduces the uncertainty in the training process of the ANN model, and enhances the generalization of the model. Compared with the error model based on the least-mean-squared method, the designed ANN model of subdivision errors can achieve higher compensating precision.

A Ternary 4-Point Approximating Subdivision Scheme

In this paper, the author presents a class of stationary ternary 4-point approximating symmetrical subdivision algorithm that reproduces cubic polynomials. By these subdivision algorithms at each refinement step, new insertion control points on a finer grid are computed by weighted sums of already existing control points. In the limit of the recursive process, data is defined on a dense set of point, The objective is to find an improved subdivision approximating algorithm which has a smaller support and a higher approximating order. The author chooses a ternary scheme because the best way to get a smaller support is to pass from the binary to ternary or complex algorithm and uses polynomial reproducing propriety to get higher approximation order. Using the cardinal Lagrange polynomials the author has proposed a 4-point approximating ternary subdivision algorithm and found that a higher regularity of limit function does not guarantee a higher approximating order. The proposed 4-point ternary approximation subdivision family algorithms with the mask a have the limit function in C2 and have approximation order 4. Also the author has demonstrated that in this class there is no algorithm whose limit function is in C3. It can be seen that this stationary ternary 4-point approximating symmetrical subdivision algorithm has a lower computational cost than the 6-point binary approximation subdivision algorithm for a greater range of points.

Average of Distribution and Remarks on Box-Splines

A class of generalized moving average operators is introduced, and the integral representations of an average function are provided. It has been shown that the average of Dirac δ distribution is just the well known box spline. Some remarks on box splines, such as their smoothness and the corresponding partition of unity, are made. The factorization of average operators is derived. Then, the subdivision algorithm for efficient computing of box splines and their linear combinations follows.

SPECTRAL APPROXIMATION ORDERS OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL NONSTATIONARY BIORTHOGONAL SEMI-MULTIRESOLUTION ANALYSIS IN SOBOLEV SPACE

Subdivision algorithm （Stationary or Non-stationary） is one of the most active and exciting research topics in wavelet analysis and applied mathematical theory. In multidimensional non-stationary situation, its limit functions are both compactly supported and infinitely differentiable. Also, these limit functions can serve as the scaling functions to generate the multidimensional non-stationary orthogonal or biorthogonal semi-multiresolution analysis （Semi-MRAs）. The spectral approximation property of multidimensional non-stationary biorthogonal Semi-MRAs is considered in this paper. Based on nonstationary subdivision scheme and its limit scaling functions, it is shown that the multidimensional nonstationary biorthogonal Semi-MRAs have spectral approximation order r in Sobolev space H^s（R^d）, for all r ≥ s ≥ 0.
