Chebyshev splines and shape parameters (Q1381383): Difference between revisions

The splines considered depend on two parameters \(p\), \(\alpha\), and are defined on \([0, 1]\) as those polynomials that satisfy \[ F'''(0)/p- 2\alpha F''(0)/p^2+ 2\alpha^2F'(0)/p^3= F'''(1)/(p+\alpha)- 2\alpha F''(1)/(p+ \alpha)^2+ 2\alpha^2 F'(1)/(p+ \alpha)^3; \] one applies to this space the formulas that give derivatives of vector functions in term of the Bézier points. The authors derive the corresponding subdivision algorithm and show the influence of the parameters on the shape of the spline function graphs.
