Summary:A constrained maximum-likelihood estimator is derived by
incorporating a rotationally invariant roughness penalty proposed by
I.J. Good (1981) into the likelihood functional. This leads to a set of
nonlinear differential equations the solution of which is a
spline-smoothing of the data. The nonlinear partial differential
equations are mapped onto a grid via finite differences, and it is shown
that the resulting computations possess a high degree of parallelism as
well as locality in the data-passage, which allows an efficient
implementation on a 48-by-48 mesh-connected array of NCR GAPP
processors. The smooth reconstruction of the intensity functions of
Poisson point processes is demonstrated in two dimensions
