  2. Spline (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_(mathematics)

    The next most simple spline has degree 1. It is also called a linear spline. A closed linear spline (i.e, the first knot and the last are the same) in the plane is just a polygon. A common spline is the natural cubic spline. A cubic spline has degree 3 with continuity C 2, i.e. the values and first and second derivatives are continuous. Natural ...

  3. Spline interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spline_interpolation

    In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, spline interpolation is a form of interpolation where the interpolant is a special type of piecewise polynomial called a spline. That is, instead of fitting a single, high-degree polynomial to all of the values at once, spline interpolation fits low-degree polynomials to small subsets of the ...

  4. Interpolation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interpolation

    Spline interpolation uses low-degree polynomials in each of the intervals, and chooses the polynomial pieces such that they fit smoothly together. The resulting function is called a spline. For instance, the natural cubic spline is piecewise cubic and twice continuously differentiable. Furthermore, its second derivative is zero at the end points.

  5. B-spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-spline

    Spline curve drawn as a weighted sum of B-splines with control points/control polygon, and marked component curves. In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, a B-spline or basis spline is a spline function that has minimal support with respect to a given degree, smoothness, and domain partition.

    For example, squares (resp. triangles) have 4 sides (resp. 3 sides); or compact (resp. Lindelöf) spaces are ones where every open cover has a finite (resp. countable) open subcover. sharp Often, a mathematical theorem will establish constraints on the behavior of some object; for example, a function will be shown to have an upper or lower bound.

  8. Akima spline - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akima_spline

    In applied mathematics, an Akima spline is a type of non-smoothing spline that gives good fits to curves where the second derivative is rapidly varying. [1] The Akima spline was published by Hiroshi Akima in 1970 from Akima's pursuit of a cubic spline curve that would appear more natural and smooth, akin to an intuitively hand-drawn curve.

    In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, an M-spline [1] [2] is a non-negative spline function. An M-spline family of order three with four interior knots. Definition
