A ternary 4-point approximating subdivision scheme

摘要

In the implementation of subdivision scheme, three of the most important issues are smoothness, size of support, and approximation order. Our objective is to introduce an improved ternary 4-point approximating subdivision scheme derived from cubic polynomial interpolation, which has smaller support and higher smoothness, comparing to binary 4-point and 6-point schemes, ternary 3-point and 4-point schemes (see Table 2). The method is easily generalized to ternary (2n + 2)-point approximating subdivision schemes. We choose a ternary scheme because a way to get smaller support is to raise arity. And we use polynomial reproduction to get higher approximation order easily.
