Full textIn this thesis we study a standard example of refinable functions, that is, functions which can be reproduced by the integer shifts of their own dilations. Using the cardinal B-spline as an introductory example, we prove some of its properties, thereby building a basis for a later extension to the vector setting. Defining a subdivision scheme associated to the B-spline refinement mask, we then present the proof of a well-known convergence result. Subdivision is a powerful tool used in computer-aided geometric design (CAGD) for the generation of curves and surfaces. The basic step of a subdivision algorithm consists of starting with a given set of points, called the initial control points, and creating new points as a linear combination of the previous ones, thereby generating new control points. Under certain conditions, repeated applications of this procedure yields a continuous limit curve. One important goal of this thesis is to study a particular extension of scalar subdivision to matrix subdivision ...

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: In this thesis we study the underlying mathematical principles of stationary subdivision, which can be regarded as an iterative recursion scheme for the generation of smooth curves and surfaces in computer graphics. An important tool for our work is Fourier analysis, from which we state some standard results, and give the proof of one non-standard result. Next, since cardinal spline functions have strong links with subdivision, we devote a chapter to this subject, proving also that the cardinal B-splines are refinable, and that the corresponding Euler-Frobenius polynomial has a certain zero structure which has important implications in our eventual applications. The concepts of a stationary subdivision scheme and its convergence are then introduced, with as motivating example the de Rahm-Chaikin algorithm. Standard results on convergence and regularity for the case of positive masks are quoted and graphically illustrated. Next, we introduce the concept of interpolatory stationary subdivision, in which case the limit curve contains all the original control points. We prove a certain set of sufficient conditions on the mask for convergence, at the same time also proving the existence and other salient properties of the associated refinable function. Next, we show how the analysis of a certain Bezout identity leads to the characterisation of a class of symmetric masks which satisfy the abovementioned sufficient conditions. Finally, we show that specific special cases of the Bezout identity yield convergent interpolatory symmetric subdivision schemes which are identical to choosing the corresponding mask coefficients equal to certain point evaluations of, respectively, a fundamental Lagrange interpolation polynomial and a fundamental cardinal spline interpolant. The latter procedure, which is known as the Deslauriers-Dubuc subdivision scheme in the case of a polynomial interpolant, has received attention in recent work, and our approach provides a convergence result for such schemes in a more general framework. Throughout the thesis, numerical illustrations of our results are provided by means of graphs.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: In hierdie tesis ondersoek ons die onderliggende wiskundige beginsels van stasionêre onderverdeling, wat beskou kan word as 'n iteratiewe rekursiewe skema vir die generering van gladde krommes en oppervlakke in rekenaargrafika. 'n Belangrike stuk gereedskap vir ons werk is Fourieranalise, waaruit ons sekere standaardresuJtate formuleer, en die bewys gee van een nie-standaard resultaat. Daarna, aangesien kardinale latfunksies sterk bande het met onderverdeling, wy ons 'n hoofstuk aan hierdie onderwerp, waarin ons ook bewys dat die kardinale B-Iatfunksies verfynbaar is, en dat die ooreenkomstige Euler-Frobenius polinoom 'n sekere nulpuntstruktuur het wat belangrike implikasies het in ons uiteindelike toepassings. Die konsepte van 'n stasionêre onderverdelingskema en die konvergensie daarvan word dan bekendgestel, met as motiverende voorbeeld die de Rahm-Chaikin algoritme. Standaardresultate oor konvergensie en regulariteit vir die geval van positiewe maskers word aangehaal en grafies geïllustreer. Vervolgens stelons die konsep van interpolerende stasionêre onderverdeling bekend, in welke geval die limietkromme al die oorspronklike kontrolepunte bevat. Ons bewys 'n sekere versameling van voldoende voorwaardes op die masker vir konvergensie, en bewys terselfdertyd die bestaan en ander toepaslike eienskappe van die ge-assosieerde verfynbare funksie. Daarna wys ons hoedat die analise van 'n sekere Bezout identiteit lei tot die karakterisering van 'n klas simmetriese maskers wat die bovermelde voldoende voorwaardes bevredig. Laastens wys ons dat spesifieke spesiale gevalle van die Bezout identiteit konvergente interpolerende simmetriese onderverdelingskemas lewer wat identies is daaraan om die ooreenkomstige maskerkoëffisientegelyk aan sekere puntevaluasies van, onderskeidelik, 'n fundamentele Lagrange interpolasiepolinoom en 'n kardinale latfunksie-interpolant te kies. Laasgenoemde prosedure, wat bekend staan as die Deslauriers-Dubuc onderverdelingskema in die geval van 'n polinoominterpolant, het aandag ontvang in onlangse werk, en ons benadering verskaf 'n konvergensieresultaat vir sulke skemas in 'n meer algemene raamwerk. Deurgaans in die tesis word numeriese illustrasies van ons resultate met behulp van grafieke verskaf.

Full textIn the present work, we are interested in estimation methods of a regular function with a processus noise by smoothing splines and regression splines. Convergence rates results for smoothing splines are presented in the case of processus noise and an extension for unbalanced data is proposed. In order to build the regression splines estimators, we introduce two criteria : ordinary least squares and generalized least squares. For these two regression splines estimators convergence rates are studied and compared. Finally, through simulations the various estimators are compared

Resumo: Os sk-splines são uma generalização natural dos splines polinomiais, os quais foram introduzidos e tiveram sua teoria básica desenvolvida por Alexander Kushpel nos anos de 1983-1985. Estas funções são importantes em várias aplicações e seu espaço é gerado por translações discretas de uma única função núcleo. Neste trabalho, estudamos condições necessárias e suficientes para a existência e unicidade de sk-splines interpolantes de funções periódicas. Além disso, estudamos a aproximação de funções de determinadas classes por sk-splines nos espaços Lp. Como aplicação estudamos a aproximação de funções infinitamente diferenciáveis e finitamente diferenciáveis por sk- splines
Abstract: The sk-splines are a natural generalization of polynomial splines. They were introduced and their basic theory developed by Alexander Kushpel between 1983 and 1985. These functions are important in many applications and the space of sk-splines is the linear span of shifts of a single kernel K. In this work, we study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of sk-splines interpolants of periodic functions. Furthermore, we study the approximation in several classes of functions by sk-splines in the Lp spaces. As an application we study the approximation of infinitely and finitely differentiable functions by sk-splines

Resumo: Estudamos neste trabalho o método de elementos finitos para aproximação de funções, e integração de equações diferenciais parciais sobre a esfera S2. Tais problemas ocorrem em várias aplicações práticas, incluindo modelagem global do tempo, geofísica, iluminação, etc. Definimos um polinômio esférico como sendo a restrição à esfera sn-l de um polinômio nas coordenadas cartesianas (Xl, x2,.", xn) de Rn. Denotamos por pd,n /sn-l o espaço de todos os polinômios esféricos de grau total :s:d, e por 1ld,n/sn-l o espaço dos polinômios esféricos homogêneos de grau total d. As funções que investigamos são as funções esféricas Cr polinomiais por partes, ou splines esféricos Cr, definidos em relação a uma triangulação esférica T de sn-l. Seja p~,n[T]/sn-l o espaço de todas as funções f de sn-l em R tais que (1) a restrição de f a cada triângulo de T coincide com uma função de pd,n/sn-l; e (2) a função f tem continuidade de ordem-r através das fronteiras de T. Analogamente, seja 1l~,n[TJlsn-l o sub-espaço de p~,n[T]/sn-l dos splines esféricos homogêneos, que consiste das funções que são 1ld,n/sn-l em cada triângulo de T. Neste trabalho mostramos que pd,n/sn-l = 1ld-l,n /sn-l EB1ld,n/sn-l, e estendemos esse resultado aos splines esféricos, mostrando que p~,n[TJlsn-l = 1l~-l,n[TJlsn-l EB1l~,n[T]jsn-l. Alfeld, Neamtu e Schumaker propuseram recentemente o espaço 1l~[TJlS2 para aproximação na esfera S2, e obtiveram uma construção explícita de uma base para o espaço 1l~[T]/S2, quando d 2: 3r + 2. Combinando .esta construção com o nosso resultado, acima descrito, nós obtemos uma base local explícita para o espaço P~[T]jS2 quando d 2:3r + 3. Nossa tese é que o P~[T]jS2 é um espaço de aproximação mais natural e eficaz do que 1l~[T]/S2. Analisamos, em particular, o uso dos espaços Pg[T]jS2 e Pf[T]jS2 para aproximar funções restritas a esfera S2, pelo critério dos mínimos quadrados. Analisamos também o uso do espaço Pf[TJlS2 para resolução numérica de equações diferenciais parciais na esfera, pelo método dos elementos finitos, e descrevemos uma técnica multi-escala para acelerar a convergência em malhas finas
Abstract: We study in this work the finite element method for function approximation and integration of partial differential equation on the sphere S2. These problems occur in many pratical applications, including global weather modeling, geophysics, illumination, etc.. A spherical polynomial is the restriction to the sphere sn-l of a polynomial in the coordinates Xl, X2,. . . , Xn of Rn. We denote by pd,n/sn-l the space of spherical polynomials with total degree :::; d, and by 1íd,n/sn-l the space of homogeneous spherical polynomials with total degree d. The functions we investigate are the Cr piecewise polynomial functions on sn-l, or Cr spherical splines, defined relative to a spherical triangulation T on the sphere sn-l. Let p~,n[T]jsn-l be the space of all functions f from sn-l to R such that (1) the restriction of f to each triangle of T matches some function in pd,n /sn-l; and (2) the function f has order-r continuity across the boundaries of T. Analogously, let 1í~,n[T]jsn-1 denote the subspace ofP~,n[T]/sn-l, the homogeneous spherical splines, which consists of the functions that are 1íd,n/sn-l within each triangle of T. We show that pd,n/sn-l = 1íd,n/sn-l EB1íd-l,n /sn-l, and generalize this result to spherical splines, showing that p~,n[T]jsn-1 = 1í~,n[T]jsn-1 EB1í~-I,n[T]jsn-l. Alfeld, Neamtu and Shumaker proposed recently the space 1í~[T]jS2 for approximation on the sphere S2, and they obtained explicit bases for that space, when d 2 3r + 2. Combining their construction with our result above, we obtain explicit local bases for the spaces p~[T]jS2, when d 2 3r + q. We argue that the space P~[T]jS2 is a more natural and effective tool than 1í~[T]jS2 for approximation on the sphere. We analyze, in particular, the use of spaces Pg[T]jS2 and Pf[T]jS2 for least squares function approximation on the sphere S2. We analyze also the use of the space Pf[T]jS2 in the numerical integration of partial differential equations; and we describe a multi-scale technique for accelerating the convergence on large grids

Full textThe b-splines are used in CAD/CAM/CAE systems to represent and define complex curves and surfaces, being adopted by the main computer graphics standards due to features like compact mathematic representation, flexibility and affine transformations. In 3D acquisition systems and integrated CAM-CNC systems, the use of the b-spline in the geometric information data transfer and in the object surface reconstruction results in a increase in the process efficiency, generally implemented in embedded systems. In these embedded systems, integrated in the aid to manufacturing machines, the use of FPGAs is incipient, without available b-splines open core circuits in reconfigurable logic, the reason why this project propose the development of a b-spline generation open core circuit, in a FPGA embedded system, using adaptated algorithms for the circuits, made in Verilog HDL language, standardized for the circuit synthesis in reconfigurable logic. The circuits were developed, using an open core standardized data bus, in the following implementations of b-spline parallel processing: the BFEA, fixed basis functions based method, both designed for integrated circuits, and the fast Cox-de Boor, developed for FPGAs. The execution time and available resource consumption in the FPGA were compared, between each implementation. The results show that the fixed basis functions circuits presented the fastest processing for the b-splines generation in a FPGA, with a 20% mean execution time reduction in relation to the other implementations. The BFEA circuits presented the lowest logic elements use, in mean 50% fewer in relation to the other implemented circuits. The fast Cox-De Boor circuit presented the best scalability, due to the implementation modularity, with execution times similar to the fixed basis functions circuits.

Vários estudos têm indicado que, das várias classes de algoritmos de reconstrução aplicáveis para dados limitados, os baseados na técnica de reconstrução algébrica são mais flexíveis e precisos. Infelizmente, estas técnicas, geralmente, sofrem de ruídos ocasionados por processos de correção durante a reconstrução e também por inconsistências nos dados adquiridos pelos tomógrafos. O pós - processamento da imagem reconstruída com a aplicação de filtros pode ser feito para atenuar a presença de ruídos, mas geralmente atenuam também as descontinuidades presentes em bordas que distinguem objetos ou falhas. O presente trabalho propõe a redução de ruídos assegurando a continuidade (das derivadas) da superfície antes da reconstrução, representando cada incógnita por uma combinação linear de pontos de controle e suas bases B-splines. São aplicadas três bases Bsplines: B1 , B2 e B3, assegurando as continuidade C0, C1 e C2, respectivamente. Para validação da técnica, foram utilizadas simulações de modelos propostos na literatura e medidas experimentais por tomografia gama. Os resultados foram comparados com as técnicas algébricas ART, SIRT, MART e SMART, sendo validada satisfatoriamente para todos os phantoms propostos. Todas as bases B-splines aplicadas obtiveram erros menores que as técnicas de correção ART e SIRT, sendo a B3, a de melhor desempenho. Este resultado pode ser explicado pelas restrições de suavidade impostas à superfície reconstruída pelas bases Bsplines e a inclinação das técnicas aditivas a ruídos, principalmente para um número limitado de dados (5 e 10 vistas). A performance das técnicas multiplicativas para essa situação é a melhor, mostrando uma imagem sem artefatos e com pouco ruído. Devido a esse fato, a técnica b-spline não tem bons resultados, apresentando na maioria dos casos, erros maiores. Para todos os testes realizados, as técnicas de representação B-splines superaram os filtros de mesma natureza aplicados no pós-processamento, sugerindo que a técnica seja utilizada no lugar da filtragem pós-processamento

Resumo: Este trabalho aborda dois problemas de inferência relacionados à regressão múltipla não paramétrica: a estimação em modelos aditivos usando um método não paramétrico e o teste de hipóteses para igualdade de curvas ajustadas a partir do modelo. Na etapa de estimação é construída uma generalização dos métodos h-splines, tanto no contexto sequencial adaptativo proposto por Dias (1999), quanto no contexto bayesiano proposto por Dias e Gamerman (2002). Os métodos h-splines fornecem uma escolha automática do número de bases utilizada na estimação do modelo. Estudos de simulação mostram que os resultados obtidos pelos métodos de estimação propostos são superiores aos conseguidos nos pacotes gamlss, mgcv e DPpackage em R. São criados dois testes de hipóteses para testar H0 : f = f0. Um teste de hipóteses que tem sua regra de decisão baseada na distância quadrática integrada entre duas curvas, referente à abordagem sequencial adaptativa, e outro baseado na medida de evidência bayesiana proposta por Pereira e Stern (1999). No teste de hipóteses bayesiano o desempenho da medida de evidência é observado em vários cenários de simulação. A medida proposta apresentou um comportamento que condiz com uma medida de evidência favorável à hipótese H0. No teste baseado na distância entre curvas, o poder do teste foi estimado em diversos cenários usando simulações e os resultados são satisfatórios. Os procedimentos propostos de estimação e teste de hipóteses são aplicados a um conjunto de dados referente ao trabalho de Tanaka e Nishii (2009) sobre o desmatamento no leste da Ásia. O objetivo é escolher um entre oito modelos candidatos. Os testes concordaram apontando um par de modelos como sendo os mais adequados
Abstract: In this work we discuss two inference problems related to multiple nonparametric regression: estimation in additive models using a nonparametric method and hypotheses testing for equality of curves, also considering additive models. In the estimation step, it is constructed a generalization of the h-splines method, both in the sequential adaptive context proposed by Dias (1999), and in the Bayesian context proposed by Dias and Gamerman (2002). The h-splines methods provide an automatic choice of the number of bases used in the estimation of the model. Simulation studies show that the results obtained by proposed estimation methods are superior to those achieved in the packages gamlss, mgcv and DPpackage in R. Two hypotheses testing are created to test H0 : f = f0. A hypotheses test that has a decision rule based on the integrated squared distance between two curves, for adaptive sequential approach, and another based on the Bayesian evidence measure proposed by Pereira and Stern (1999). In Bayesian hypothesis testing the performance measure of evidence is observed in several simulation scenarios. The proposed measure showed a behavior that is consistent with evidence favorable to H0. In the test based on the distance between the curves, the power of the test was estimated at various scenarios using simulations, and the results are satisfactory. At the end of the work the proposed procedures of estimation and hypotheses testing are applied in a dataset concerning to the work of Tanaka and Nishii (2009) about the deforestation in East Asia. The objective is to choose one amongst eight models. The tests point to a pair of models as being the most suitableIn this work we discuss two inference problems related to multiple nonparametric regression: estimation in additive models using a nonparametric method and hypotheses testing for equality of curves, also considering additive models.

At the end of the work the proposed procedures of estimation and hypotheses testing are applied in a dataset concerning to the work of Tanaka and Nishii (2009) about the deforestation in East Asia. The objective is to choose one amongst eight models. The tests point to a pair of models as being the most suitable

Full text-- In many clinical studies, Cox proportional hazard model is very common to use, it assumes proportional hazard and restricts the log hazard ratio to be linear in the covariates; these asumptions can not be verified. In this way, a nonlinear functional form of the covariates effect can be approximated by a spline function. In this paper, we present the methodology and an application of Cox model using splines, particularly regression splines and P-splines, to approximate the nonlinear functional form of the effect of covariates on the hazard function. As an application, we analyse data from patients with NHL to determine prognostic factors for overall survival. These results show that the effect of continuous covariates as: hemoglobin, leukocytes, lymphocytes and LDH have a nonlinear form with the log hazard ratio. -- Keywords: Cox model, regression splines, P-spline, NHL.

Full textAiming at converting a triangular mesh into a CAGD/CAM spline surface, this thesis focuses on one of the most crucial problems of the conversion process, i.e. extracting a “good” quadrilateral control mesh of the surface. What we mean by good is that the edges of the control mesh should be orthogonal and aligned with the principal directions of curvature of the surface. These two properties make the control mesh optimum in an approximation point of view, and greatly help to reduce unwanted oscillations on the final spline surface built from it. To solve this problem, we propose a new automatic algorithm, called periodic global parameterization. The basic idea is to find a “geometry-meaningful” parameterization guided by a pair of orthogonal anisotropic direction fields. Then, the iso-value lines of this parameterization will be extracted to define an initial control mesh, that satisfies the two criteria of a good control mesh. With the initial control mesh, we explain how to construct a T-spline approximation of the initial triangulated surface. We show several examples of the triangular mesh to T-spline conversion. The results show that thanks to the anisotropic control meshes, the final spline surfaces generated have much less oscillations as compared to results of previous methods, that do not take into account of the anisotropy

Full textP-splines of Eilers e Marx (1996) are methods of smoothing that is a combination of B-splines bases and penalty the coefficients of the bases used to smooth normal and non-normal data in one or more dimensions; in the case of several dimensions it is used as smoothing the tensor product of the P-splines. Also the P-splines are used as representation of mixed models Currie et al. (2006) by the presence of characteristics such as: fixed effects, random effects, spatial or temporal correlation and used in more generalized models such as generalized linear mixed models and generalized additive mixed models. In this work the whole approach, methodology and description of the P-splines as mixed models and as components of the smoothing structures of one-dimensional and two-dimensional variables of generalized additive mixed models were presented, showing this approach and proposing its application in the behavior of the average levels of sugarcane production, which is influenced by changes in climatic variables such as temperature and precipitation , which were measured over 10 years in each mesoregion of the state of São Paulo. The reason for using this approach as a smoothing method is that the tendency of these climate covariables is not know for the most part, but is known that they influence directly the response variable, besides allowing this approach to include fixed and random effects in the models to be proposed, will allow the inclusion of the autoregressive process AR(1) as a correlation structure in the residuos.
