This paper is devoted to introducing a nonlinear reconstruction operator, the piecewise polynomial harmonic (PPH), on nonuniform grids. We define this operator and we study its main properties, such as its reproduction of second-degree polynomials, approximation order, and conditions for convexity preservation. In particular, for σ quasi-uniform grids with σ≤4, we get a quasi C3 reconstruction that maintains the convexity properties of the initial data. We give some numerical experiments regarding the approximation order and the convexity preservation.

Function Of Several Arguments

This article was supposed to be on ‘multivariate splines». An informal survey, taken recently by asking various people in Approximation Theory what they consider to be a ‘multivariate spline’, resulted in the answer that a multivariate spline is a possibly smooth piecewise polynomial function of several arguments. In particular the potentially very useful thin-plate spline was thought to belong more to the subject of radial basis funtions than in the present article. This is all the more surprising to me since I am convinced that the variational approach to splines will play a much greater role in multivariate spline theory than it did or should have in the univariate theory. Still, as there is more than enough material for a survey of multivariate piecewise polynomials, this article is restricted to this topic, as is indicated by the (changed) title.

Design And Manufacture

Abstract A method for the integrated design and manufacture of radial plate cams is discussed. Currently, a cam-follower system is designed by specifying constraints on the motion of the follower. The physical cam contour or cam pitch curve are not mathematically defined. The cam is manufactured from the discretized follower motion program. A new method for cam design is proposed which will produce a smooth, mathematically defined cam pitch curve while maintaining the proper constraints on the follower motion. Piecewise polynomial functions in the form of rational and/or non-rational splines may be used. Cams will be manufactured using smoothed profiles and tested for improved dynamic performance. The results of initial investigations of cam profile design for this research are presented.

Period Annulus

In this paper, we study Poincaré bifurcation of a class of piecewise polynomial systems, whose unperturbed system has a period annulus together with two invariant lines. The main concerns are the number of zeros of the first order Melnikov function and the estimation of the number of limit cycles which bifurcate from the period annulus under piecewise polynomial perturbations of degree [Formula: see text].
