In this paper, the geometric interpolation of planar data points and boundary tangent directions by a cubic G2 Pythagorean-hodograph (PH) spline curve is studied. It is shown that such an interpolant exists under some natural assumptions on the data. The construction of the spline is based upon the solution of a tridiagonal system of nonlinear equations. The asymptotic approximation order 4 is ...

In this paper, G continuous cubic spline interpolation of data points in R, based on a discrete approximation of the strain energy, is studied. Simple geometric conditions on data are presented that guarantee the existence of the interpolant. The interpolating spline is regular, loop-, cuspand fold-free.

A general setting is given for smooth interpolating splines depending on a parameter such that as this parameter approaches infinity the spline converges to the piecewise linear interpolant. The theory includes the standard exponential spline in tension, a rational spline, and several cubic splines. An algorithm is given for one of the cubics; the parameter for this example controls the spacing...

Abstract— This paper describes the use of GC quadratic trigonometric spline interpolant for preserving the shape of monotonic data. Simple data dependent constraints are derived for shape parameters to preserve the monotonicity through monotonic data. The necessary and sufficient conditions for the monotonicity of the trigonometric quadratic interpolant have been derived. The scheme is computat...

Two piecewise Hermite bicubic orthogonal spline collocation schemes are considered for the approximate solution of elliptic, self-adjoint, nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary value problems on rectangles. In the rst scheme, the nonhomogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is approximated by means of the piecewise Hermite cubic interpolant, while the piecewise cubic interpolant at the boundary Gaus...

For data satisfying certain generalized convexity conditions, the existence and uniqueness of a piecewise quadratic curvature continuous parametric spline interpolant in IR 2 is proved. Convexity is preserved by the interpolation, and the numerical construction of the interpolant can be carried out eeciently. The interpolation is 4{th order accurate, and a number of examples shows both the appl...

Given a finite subset Ξ ⊂ R and data |Ξ , the surface spline interpolant to the data |Ξ is a function s which minimizes a certain seminorm subject to the interpolation conditions |Ξ = |Ξ . It is known that surface spline interpolation is stable on the Sobolev space W in the sense that ‖s‖L∞(Ω) ≤ const ‖f‖Wm , where m is an integer parameter which specifies the surface spline. In this note we sh...
