Let \(s_{r,m}\) be a polynomial spline (piecewise polynomial of degree \(m\)) with the knots \(0<t_ 1<\dots<t_ n<1\). The corresponding multiplicities of the knots are given by \(r=(r_ 1,\dots,r_ n)\), \(r_ \nu\geq m+1\) (\(\nu=1,\dots,n\)). The function \(s_{r,m}\) can be written in the form \[ s_{r,m}(t)=p_ m(t)+\sum_{\nu=1}^ n \sum_{\mu=0}^{r_ \nu-1}a_{\nu\mu}(t_ \nu-t)_ +^{m-\mu}, \] where \(p_ m(t)\) is a polynomial of degree \(m\). The problem is to construct \(s_{r,m}\), that is to determine \(p_ m\), \(a_{\nu\mu}\) and the knots \(t_ \nu\) so that \[ \int_ 0^ 1 t^ k s_{r,m}(t)dt=\int_ 0^ 1 t^ k f(t)dt, \qquad j=0,\dots,N+n+m, \] where \(f\) is an integrable function on \([0,1]\) and \(N=r_ 1+\dots+r_ n\). Existence and uniqueness theorems are proved, error estimations and numerical examples are presented. For simple knots of the spline function the problem is solved by \textit{M. Frontini}, \textit{W. Gautschi} and \textit{G. V. Milovanovič} [Numer. Math. 50, 503-518 (1987; Zbl 0644.41005)].
