Recent advances in the approximation of surfaces from scattered data
Abstract
Advances in the mathematical theory behind Hardy's multiquadric
method, development of methods for surfaces with tension
parameters or which satisfy constraints, and methods for least
squares approximation and subset selection are discussed. This
report was prepared for the proceedings of The International
Workshop on Multivariate Approximation, held in Santiago, Chile,
in December 1986.

Perturbation theory of nuclear matter and finite nuclei
Masterson, Kleber Sanlin (University of California, San Diego, 1963);This dissertation investigates several related topics in the theory and application of perturbation methods to nuclear matter and finite nuclei. (l) Theoretical discussions include the concise rederivation of many basic ... -
Implementation of a high-speed numeric function generator on a COTS reconfigurable computer
Mack, Thomas J. (Monterey California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2007-03);Certain methods of realizing numeric functions, such as sin(x) or x , in hardware involve a Taylor Series expansion or the CORDIC algorithm. These methods, while precise, are iterative and slow and may take on the order ... -
Approximations for the system hazard function.
Hayne, William John (Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1972-03);Methods for approximating the system hazard function are developed for systems which have constant component failure rates. The approximations are applicable to systems which are "highly reliable," e.g., all component ...
