In this article, we consider some generalizations of polynomial and exponential B-splines. Firstly, the extension from integral to complex orders is reviewed and presented. The second generalization involves the construction of uncountable families of self-referential or fractal functions from polynomial and exponential B-splines of integral and complex orders. As the support of the latter B-splines is the set $[0,\infty)$, the known fractal interpolation techniques are extended in order to… Expand

Exponential Splines of Complex Order
We extend the concept of exponential B-spline to complex orders. This extension contains as special cases the class of exponential splines and also the class of polynomial B-splines of complex order.Expand

We propose a complex generalization of Schoenberg’s cardinal splines. To this end, we go back to the Fourier domain definition of the B-splines and extend it to complex-valued degrees. We show thatExpand
Theory of exponential splines
Abstract Pruess [12, 14] has shown that exponential splines can produce co-convex and co-monotone interpolants. These results justify the further study of the mathematical properties of exponentialExpand

The symmetric version of the B-splines can be obtained as the solution of a variational problem involving the norm of a fractional derivative, and may be used to build new families of wavelet bases with a continuously varying order parameter. Expand

The relationship between quaternionic B-splines and a backwards difference operator is shown, leading to a recurrence formula, and it is shown that the collection of integer shifts of $B_q$ is a Riesz basis for its span, hence generating a multiresolution analysis. Expand

This book presents those parts of the theory which are especially useful in calculations and stresses the representation of splines as linear combinations of B-splines as well as specific approximation methods, interpolation, smoothing and least-squares approximation, the solution of an ordinary differential equation by collocation, curve fitting, and surface fitting.
