Journal ArticleDOI
Construction of curvilinear co-ordinate systems and applications to mesh generation
TL;DR: In this article, the problem of curvilinearly co-ordinating simply connected planar domains by constructing invertible maps of the unit square [0, 1] × [0 and 1] onto the planar domain is addressed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Closed Queuing Systems with Exponential Servers
TL;DR: It is found that the distribution of customers in the closed queuing system is regulated by the stage or stages with the slowest effective service rate, which means that closed systems are shown to be stochastically equivalent to open systems in which the number of customers cannot exceed N.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transfinite element methods: Blending-function interpolation over arbitrary curved element domains
TL;DR: The notion of a “transfinite element” is introduced which, in brief, is an invertible mapping from a square parameter domainJ onto a closed, bounded and simply connected regionℛ in thexy-plane together with a ‘transFinite’ blending-function type interpolant to the dependent variablef defined overℚ.
Book ChapterDOI
B-spline curves and surfaces
TL;DR: This chapter presents the use of this algorithm for various computations and also describes the procedure for evaluating B-spline functions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bernstein-Bézier Methods for the Computer-Aided Design of Free-Form Curves and Surfaces
TL;DR: The authors consider the extension of the results contained herein to free-form curve and surface design using polynomialsplines, which have several advantages over the techniques described in the present paper.
