Novel Formulas for B-Splines, Bernstein Basis Functions and special numbers: Approach to Derivative and Functional Equations of Generating Functions

Abstract: One of the main purposes of this article is to give functional equations and differential equations between Bernstein basis functions and generating functions of B-spline curves. Using these equations, very useful formulas containing the relationships among the uniform B-spline curves, the Bernstein basis functions, and other special numbers and polynomials are derived. By applying p-adic integrals to these polynomials, many novel formulas are also derived. Furthermore, by applying the partial differential derivative operator and Laplace transformation to these generating functions, with aid of higher derivative differential, not only recurrence relations and the higher derivative formula for B-spline curves, but also infinite series representations are given.
