Abstract
A spline function is a piecewise polynomial of degree m joined smoothly so that it has m − 1 continuous derivatives. When used as an approximating function the spline provides a smooth yet flexible curve of relatively low degree. The purpose of this note is to show how standard numerical procedures can be used without change to calculate the best (L1 and L∞) spline approximation, of given degree and joints, to a discrete point set.Keywords
