Spline approximation (41A15) Multidimensional problems (41A63) Numerical interpolation (65D05)

Let \(\Delta\) be a regular triangulation of a simply connected polygonal domain \(\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2\). Let \(S^1_3(\Delta)\) be the space of all \(s\in C^1 (\Omega)\) where for all \(T\in \Delta\), \(s| T\) are bivariate polynomials of total degree \(\leq 3\). The authors consider the following Lagrange interpolation problem: Construct sets \(\{z_1,\dots,z_d\}\subset \Omega\), where \(d=\dim S^1_3(\Delta)\), such that for each \(f\in C(\Omega)\), there exists a unique spline \(s\in S^1_3(\Delta)\) with \(s(z_j)=f(z_j)\) \((j=1,\dots,d)\). If also partial derivatives of \(f\in C^1(\Omega)\) are given, then this is called a Hermite interpolation problem. For a general type of triangulations \(\Delta\), the authors describe an algorithm for constructing point sets which admit unique Lagrange/Hermite interpolation from the space \(S^1_3(\Delta)\). Further \(\dim S^1_3(\Delta)\) is determined. Numerical examples are given. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00047].
