Spline Functions and Multivariate Interpolations
This volume provides a comprehensive introduction to the theory of spline functions. Emphasis is given to new developments, such as the general Birkhoff-type interpolation, the extremal properties of splines, their prominent role in the optimal recovery of functions, and multivariate interpolation by polynomials and splines. The book has thirteen chapters dealing, respectively, with interpolation by algebraic polynomials, the space of splines, B-splines, interpolation by spline functions, natural spline functions, perfect splines, monosplines, periodic splines, multivariate B-splines and truncated powers, multivariate spline functions and divided differences, box splines, multivariate mean value interpolation, multivariate polynomial interpolations arising by hyperplanes, and multivariate pointwise interpolation. Some of the results described are presented as exercises and hints are given for their solution. For researchers and graduate students whose work involves approximation theory.
Spline Functions: Basic Theory

Release Date: 2007-08-16
This classic work continues to offer a comprehensive treatment of the theory of univariate and tensor-product splines. It will be of interest to researchers and students working in applied analysis, numerical analysis, computer science, and engineering. The material covered provides the reader with the necessary tools for understanding the many applications of splines in such diverse areas as approximation theory, computer-aided geometric design, curve and surface design and fitting, image processing, numerical solution of differential equations, and increasingly in business and the biosciences. This new edition includes a supplement outlining some of the major advances in the theory since 1981, and some 250 new references. It can be used as the main or supplementary text for courses in splines, approximation theory or numerical analysis.
Spline Functions
This book is a continuation of the author’s earlier book Spline Functions: Computational Methods, published in 2015 by SIAM. This new book focuses on computational methods developed in the last ten years that make use of splines to approximate functions and data and to solve boundary-value problems. The first half of the book works with bivariate spaces of splines defined on H-triangulations, T-meshes, and curved triangulations. Trivariate tensor-product splines and splines on tetrahedral partitions are also discussed. The second half of the book makes use of these spaces to solve boundary-value problems, with a special emphasis on elliptic PDEs defined on curved domains. The book contains numerous examples and figures to illustrate the methods and their performance. In addition to the included bibliography, a 125-page list of additional references can be downloaded from the SIAM website. All of the algorithms in the book have been coded in MATLAB and are included in a package that can also be downloaded from the website. It can be used to run all of the examples in the book. The package also provides an extensive toolbox of functions that readers can utilize to develop their own spline software. The book is designed for mathematicians, engineers, scientists, and anyone else wanting to make use of spline functions for numerical computation.
