\(\mathbb{P}_1\)-reproducing shape-preserving quasi-interpolant using positive quadratic splines with local support (Q1298399)

The authors study the construction of a quasi interpolant function expressed as a linear combination of quadratic splines with local support where the coefficients are given by the data. The quadratic splines used here have a larger support than the usual quadratic \(B\)-splines but the quasi-interpolant preserves the monotone and convex properties and reproduces linear polynomials.
