Detailed Description

The CubicSpineSmoothingKernel class is a subclass of the abstract SmoothingKernel class, and describes smoothing kernels defined by the standard cubic spline density,

W(u)={8(16u2+6u3)πif 0u12,16(1u)3πif 12u1,0else.

It can be checked that this function is continuous at u=12 and that it satisfies the required normalization

4π0W(u)u2du=1.

inlineprotected

Default constructor for concrete Item subclass CubicSplineSmoothingKernel : "a cubic spline smoothing kernel" .

Member Function Documentation

◆ columnDensity()

double CubicSplineSmoothingKernel::columnDensity ( double  q) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the column density Σ(q)=2q1W(u)uduu2q2 of the smoothing kernel as a function of the normalized impact radius q=ri/h. For the cubic spline smoothing kernel, we obtain

Σ(q)={2π[(4+26q2)1q2(1+26q2)14q218q4ln(2q1+14q2)6q2(4+q2)ln(2+21q21+14q2)]if 0q12,4π[(2+13q2)1q2+3q2(4+q2)ln(q1+1q2)]if 12q1,0else.

Implements SmoothingKernel.

◆ density()

double CubicSplineSmoothingKernel::density ( double  u) const
overridevirtual

This function returns the density W(u) of the smoothing kernel as a function of the normalized radius u. It just implements the analytical formula given in the class header.

Implements SmoothingKernel.

◆ generateRadius()

double CubicSplineSmoothingKernel::generateRadius ( ) const
overridevirtual

This function generates a random normalized radius u from the smoothing kernel. This is accomplished by generating a uniform deviate X, and solving the equation

X=0u4πW(u)u2du

for u. For the cubic spline smoothing kernel, we obtain

0u4πW(u)u2du={32u61925u5+323u3if 0u12,323u6+1925u548u4+643u3115if 12u1.

We precompute a tabulation of this cumulative distribution function on which we interpolate to solve this equation.

Implements SmoothingKernel.

◆ setupSelfBefore()

void CubicSplineSmoothingKernel::setupSelfBefore ( )
overrideprotectedvirtual

This function sets up a grid that will be used to sample random radii from the smoothing kernel.
