TY - JOUR T1 - On non-uniform algebraic-hyperbolic (NUAH) B-splines AU - J. Qian & Y. Tang JO - Numerical Mathematics, a Journal of Chinese Universities VL - 4 SP - 320 EP - 335 PY - 2006 DA - 2006/11 SN - 15 DO - http://doi.org/ UR - https://global-sci.org/intro/article_detail/nm/8040.html KW - AB - The recurrence algorithm is given for the calculation of NUAH B-splines in the space $S_{n+1}=$ span$\{\sinh t,$ $\cosh t,$ $t^{n-3}, \cdots,$ $t^2, t, 1\}$ $(n\ge 3)$. The case of NUAH B-spline bases of low order with multiple knot sequences is studied. The limiting cases of UAH B-splines are recovered when shape parameters $\alpha's \rightarrow 0^+ {\rm and} +\infty$. Then the corresponding NUAH B-spline curve is defined and its main properties such as shape-preserving properties are investigated.
