Thin plate smoothing splines are widely used to spatially interpolate surface climate,
however, their application to large data sets is limited by computational efficiency. Standard …

Sparse grids, as studied by Zenger and Griebel in the last 10 years have been very
successful in the solution of partial differential equations, integral equations and …

This paper presents a multi-agent architecture that facilitates the development of real-time
multi-agent systems based on the SIMBA approach. The approach allows the integration of …

In order to avoid the ill-conditioning problem of thin plate spline (TPS), the orthogonal least
squares (OLS) method was introduced, and a modified OLS (MOLS) was developed. The …

This paper proposes a replanning mechanism for deliberative agents as a new approach to
tackling the frame problem. We propose a beliefs desires and intentions (BDI) agent …

Finite difference and finite element schemes for bivariate thin plate smoothing splines are
described. Nested grid SOR iterative methods are known to be able to solve these systems …

A new smoothing method is proposed which can be viewed as a finite element thin plate
spline. This approach combines the favorable properties of finite element surface fitting with …

Artists explore the visual style of animated characters through 2D concept art, since it affords
them a nearly unlimited degree of creative freedom. Realizing the desired visual style …

We consider a mixed finite element method for a linear multivariate spline using the
Laplacian penalty. Our discretisation is based on biorthogonal systems leading to a very …

The problem of estimating probability density functions differs significantly from functional
estimation in which a response variable is present and has for this reason has been dealt …
