- Abstract:
- We introduce a universal and systematic way of defining a generalized B-spline based on a linear shift-invariant (LSI) operator L (a.k.a. Fourier multiplier). The generic form of the B-spline is βL=LdL−1δ where L−1δ is the Green's function of L and where Ld is the discretized version of the operator that has the smallest-possible null space. The cornerstone of our approach is a main construction of Ld in the form of an infinite product that is motivated by Weierstrass’ factorization of entire functions. We show that the resulting Fourier-domain expression is compatible with the construction of all known B-splines. In the special case where L is the derivative operator (linked with piecewise-constant splines), our formula is equivalent to Euler's celebrated decomposition of sinc(x)=[Formula presented] into an infinite product of polynomials. Our main challenge is to prove convergence and to establish continuity results for the proposed infinite-product representation. The ultimate outcome is the demonstration that the generalized B-spline βL generates a Riesz basis of the space of cardinal L-splines, where L is an essentially arbitrary pseudo-differential operator. © 2016 Elsevier Inc
