Abstract
One part of the proposed project will be interested in geometric interpolation by (piecewise) polynomial parametric curves and surfaces. Geometric interpolation, as a new way of interpolation, has been developed in late eighties and became more and more popular later on. It provides higher order accuracy approximation schemes and preserves geometric properties independently of parametrisation. Applications of the obtained schemes can be found in such important branches as computer design and computer modeling are. Our work will be focused on geometric interpolation of curve data in several dimensions, and on interpolation of surfaces by parametric polynomial patches of different types.
The focus of the second part of the proposed research project is solution of differential equations by numerical methods that retain qualitative features of the underlying mathematical structure. The new approach, known as geometric integration, brings together the ideas from traditional numerical analysis, differential topology, theory of Lie groups and nonlinear dynamical systems. In this framework we will develop error estimates for Lie group methods.
