A finite element method for growth in biological development by Cornel M. Murea, H. G. E. Hentschel

“…We describe finite element simulations of limb growth based on Stokes flow models witha nonzero divergence representing growth due to nutrients in the early stages of limb bud development.We introduce a ''tissue pressure'' whose spatial derivatives yield the growth velocity in the limband our explicit time advancing algorithm for such tissue flows is described in detail.The limb boundary is approached by spline functions to compute the curvature andthe unit outward normal vector. …”

A Leader-Follower Formation Control of Multi-UAVs via an Adaptive Hybrid Controller by Zain Anwar Ali, Amber Israr, Eman H. Alkhammash, Myriam Hadjouni

“…Moreover, the flying formations of the swarm were created by a B-spline curve based on a simple waypoint. The main contribution of this study is to present a model where the formation remains stable during the whole flight, errors are within the optimal range, and the time delays are manageable.…”

A Modified Equation Approach to Selecting a Nonstandard Finite Difference Scheme Applied to the Regularized Long Wave Equation by E. Momoniat

“…Comparisons to the single solitary wave solution show significantly better results, measured in the L2 and L∞ norms, when compared to results obtained using a Petrov-Galerkin finite element method and a splitted quadratic B-spline collocation method. The growth in the error when simulating the single solitary wave solution using the two “best” nonstandard numerical schemes is shown to be linear implying the nonstandard finite difference schemes are conservative. …”

Research on Intelligent Vehicle Operation Risk Assessment and Early Warning Based on Predictive Risk Field by Ruibin Zhang, Yingshi Guo

“…The risk warning model is integrated to provide risk early warning, and the safety path for the ego vehicle is planned based on the interaction between the predictive risk field equipotential lines and the cubic spline curves. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed vehicle operation risk assessment and early warning model is effective in providing early warnings and safe path references for the ego vehicle in complex urban road test scenarios.…”

A Dual-Thread Method for Time-Optimal Trajectory Planning in Joint Space Based on Improved NGA by Kaipeng Zhang, Ning Liu, Gao Wang

“…To solve the problem that the time-consuming optimization process of Genetic Algorithm (GA) can erode the expected time-saving brought by the algorithm, time-optimal trajectory planning based on cubic spline was used, after the modification to classical fitness sharing function of NGA, a dual-threaded method utilizing elite strategy characteristic was designed which was based on Niche Genetic Algorithm (NGA) with the fitness sharing technique. …”
