Cubic Splines MACM 316 2/15<br />

Derivation<br />

Using the definition, let’s determine equations relating the coefficients<br />

and keep a count of the number of equations:<br />

# eqns.<br />

Interpolation and continuity:<br />

Si(xi) = yi for i = 0, 1, . . . , n − 1 n<br />

Si(xi+1) = yi+1 for i = 0, 1, . . . , n − 1 n<br />

(based on both of these, S(x) is continuous)<br />

Derivative continuity:<br />

S ′ i (xi+1) = S ′ i+1 (xi+1) for i = 0, 1, . . . , n − 2 n − 1<br />

S ′′<br />

i (xi+1) = S ′′<br />

i+1 (xi+1) for i = 0, 1, . . . , n − 2 n − 1<br />

There are still 2 equations missing! (later)<br />

Total # of equations: 4n − 2<br />
