Spline approximation (41A15) Best constants in approximation theory (41A44) Numerical computation using splines (65D07)

Abstract: In this paper we compare approximation properties of degree $p$ spline spaces with different numbers of continuous derivatives. We prove that, for a given space dimension, $smoothp-1$ splines provide better a priori error bounds for the approximation of functions in $H^{p+1}(0,1)$. Our result holds for all practically interesting cases when comparing $smoothp-1$ splines with $smooth-1$ (discontinuous) splines. When comparing $smoothp-1$ splines with $smooth0$ splines our proof covers almost all cases for $pge3$, but we can not conclude anything for $p=2$. The results are generalized to the approximation of functions in $H^{q+1}(0,1)$ for $q<p$, to broken Sobolev spaces and to tensor product spaces.
