Second order spiral splines are $C^2$ unit-speed planar curves that can be used to interpolate a list $Y$ of $n+1$ points in $R ^2$ at times specified in some list $T$, where $ngeq 2$. Asymptotic methods are used to develop a fast algorithm, based on a pair of tridiagonal linear systems and standard software. The algorithm constructs a second order spiral spline interpolant for data that is convex and sufficiently finely sampled.

We discuss the direct use of cubic-matrix splines to obtain continuous approximations to the unique solution of matrix models of the type $Y(x) = f(x,Y(x))$. For numerical illustration, an estimation of the approximation error, an algorithm for its implementation, and an example are given.
We formulate a well-posedness and approximation theory for a class of generalised saddle point problems. In this way we develop an approach to a class of fourth order elliptic partial differential equations using the idea of splitting into coupled second order equations. Our main motivation is to treat certain fourth order surface equations arising in the modelling of biomembranes but the approach may be applied more generally. In particular, we are interested in equations with non-smooth right hand sides and operators which have non-trivial kernels.The theory for well posedness and approximation is presented in an abstract setting. Several examples are described together with some numerical experiments.
This survey paper describes the role of splines in geometry and topology, emphasizing both similarities and differences from the classical treatment of splines. The exposition is non-technical and contains many examples, with references to more thorough treatments of the subject.
We formulate a well-posedness and approximation theory for a class of generalised saddle point problems with a specific form of constraints. In this way we develop an approach to a class of fourth order elliptic partial differential equations with point constraints using the idea of splitting into coupled second order equations. An approach is formulated using a penalty method to impose the constraints. Our main motivation is to treat certain fourth order equations involving the biharmonic operator and point Dirichlet constraints for example arising in the modelling of biomembranes on curved and flat surfaces but the approach may be applied more generally. The theory for well-posedness and approximation is presented in an abstract setting. Several examples are described together with some numerical experiments.
A striking discovery in the field of network science is that the majority of real networked systems have some universal structural properties. In generally, they are simultaneously sparse, scale-free, small-world, and loopy. In this paper, we investigate the second-order consensus of dynamic networks with such universal structures subject to white noise at vertices. We focus on the network coherence $H_{rm SO}$ characterized in terms of the $mathcal{H}_2$-norm of the vertex systems, which measures the mean deviation of vertex states from their average value. We first study numerically the coherence of some representative real-world networks. We find that their coherence $H_{rm SO}$ scales sublinearly with the vertex number $N$. We then study analytically $H_{rm SO}$ for a class of iteratively growing networks -- pseudofractal scale-free webs (PSFWs), and obtain an exact solution to $H_{rm SO}$, which also increases sublinearly in $N$, with an exponent much smaller than 1. To explain the reasons for this sublinear behavior, we finally study $H_{rm SO}$ for Sierpinski gaskets, for which $H_{rm SO}$ grows superlinearly in $N$, with a power exponent much larger than 1. Sierpinski gaskets have the same number of vertices and edges as the PSFWs, but do not display the scale-free and small-world properties. We thus conclude that the scale-free and small-world, and loopy topologies are jointly responsible for the observed sublinear scaling of $H_{rm SO}$.
