B-Spline (Basis Spline) are used for curve fitting and numerical differentiation with a minimal support wrt a given degree, smoothness, and domain partition. When order changes B-spline curve behaves differently. The level of smoothness depends on number of knots selected.
It is a method to approximate a function (or curve). So you can always use it when you need to deal with any function. For examples, we could construct a finite difference scheme with the help of B-Spline for solving PDEs; and more typically, NURBS (Non-uniform rational basis spline) has become the industry standard in computer graphics for generating and representing curves and surfaces.
The scope of the Special Issue includes but is not limited to original research works within the subject of geometric modeling and its applications in engineering, arts, physics, biology, medicine, computer graphics, architecture, etc., as well as theoretical mathematics and geometry which can be applied to problems of geometric modeling. For this Special Issue, we plan to accept the following types of manuscripts:
Overviews;
Research manuscripts;
Short manuscripts which discuss open problems in geometric modeling.
