For a partition \(a= x_0<x_1<\cdots< x_n= b\) and given \(y_0,y_1,\dots, y_n\), \(y^{(j)}_0\), \(j= 1,2,\dots\), \(L+M-1\), the authors construct rational splines \(S[L,M](x)= {P[L, M](x)\over Q[L, M](x)}\) satisfying (i) \(S[L, M](x_i)= y_i\), \(i= 0,1,2,\dots, n\), (ii) \(S^{(j)}[L, M](x_0)= y^{(j)}_0\), \(i=1,2,\dots, L+ M-1\), (iii) \(S[L, M](x)\in C^{(L+ M-1)}[a, b]\). The authors give results on the existence, uniqueness and recursion algorithm on the interval. The authors gave necessary and sufficient conditions for irreducible solutions. Theorem 1. If \(M\geq 1\), then problems (i), (ii), (iii) are solvable and the necessary and sufficient conditions for an irreducible solution \(S= {P\over Q}\) on \([x_0, x_1]\) is (rank of matrix \(B\)) \(=M\), where \(B\) is \[ \begin{pmatrix} y^{(L+1)}_0 & (xy)^{(L+1)}_0 &\cdots & (x^My)^{(L+1)}_0\\ \vdots &\vdots &&\vdots\\ y^{(L+ M-1)}_0 & (xy)^{(L+ M-1)}_0 &\cdots & (x^My)^{(L+ M-1)}_0\\ y_1- \displaystyle\sum^L_{j=0} {(x_1- x_0)^j\over j!} y^{(j)}_0 & x_1y_1- \displaystyle\sum^L_{j=0} {(x_1- x_0)^j\over j!} (xy)^{(j)}_0 &\cdots & x^M_1 y_1- \displaystyle\sum^L_{j=0} {(x_1- x_0)^j\over j!} (x^M y)^{(j)}_0\end{pmatrix}. \] If \(M\geq 1\) and (rank of matrix \(B\)) \(=M\), in Theorem 2 the authors give the representation in the determinants of \(Q[L,M]\) and \(P(L,M)\).
