Riassunto

The fitting of a curve or surface through a set of observational data is a very frequent problem in different disciplines (mathematics, engineering, medicine, ...) with many interesting applications. This book describes the algorithms and mathematical fundamentals of a widely used software package for data fitting with (tensor product) splines. As such it gives a survey of possibilities and benefits but also of the problems to cope with when approximating with this popular type of function. In particular it is demonstrated in detail how the properties of B-splines can be fully exploited for improving the computational efficiency and for incorporating different boundary or shape preserving constraints. Special attention is also paid to strategies for an automatic and adaptive knot selection with intent to obtain serious data reductions. The practical use of the smoothing software is illustrated with many examples, academic as well as taken from real life.

Recensione

'Scientists and engineers with curve and surface fitting problems and practitioners of computer graphics and CAGD should all find the monograph useful. It is essentially self-contained, giving a brief introduction to the mathematics required as the need arises.'I. Gladwell

'A distinguished feature of this book is its lucid presentation. Dierckx's choice of examples is excellent. The discussion is clear and complete enough to serve as an introduction for those beginning a study of spline fitting algorithms. The work is self-contained.'E. Neuman, Zentralblatt f�r Mathematik, Band 782/94

From the cloth edition: the book is invaluable ... The book is clearly laid out ... contains a comprehensive set of references. (Tim Thornton, Computing Reviews, June 1994)

Descrizione libreria

The Reader's Corner is such fun,it's too bad you have to buy our books on line. We have eight foot tall outside bookshelves across the entire front of the store. There is a money slot in the door for night sales, which go to support National Public Radio. Inside, which can be too crowded at times, are surprisingly good books, only 1% are ever listed on-line. We also sell records, music cd's, comic books, mags, computer software and games. Best of all is the found art decorating every spare spot. The motto on the front door: NO SHOOTING, NO SMOKING, NO MOONING THE MANAGEMENT.
