    The authors present methods for constructing a nonnegative bivariate smoothing spline fitting given a set of scattered data. Powell-Sabin splines (PS-splines) are applied for this purpose. Necessary and sufficient conditions for nonnegativity of PS-splines are stated. Two practical algorithms for nonnegative surface fitting problems are presented. The Bernstein-Bézier form of local support basis functions for PS-splines is considered to improve the efficiency. Applications are demonstrated by numerical examples.
