Review text

The following range restricted interpolation problem is considered: For data points \(\{(x_i,y_j,z_{ij})\), \(i=0,\ldots,n\), \(j=0,\ldots,m\}\) on a rectangular grid \(\Delta^x\times\Delta ^y=\{x_0<\cdots < x_n\}\times\{y_0<\cdots < y_m\}\) one looks for smooth functions \(s\) satisfying \[ s(x_i,y_j)=z_{ij}\quad i=0,\ldots , n, \quad j=0,\ldots , m \] and some further range restrictions, as e.g. \[ \begin{aligned} L(x,y) &\leq s(x,y))\leq U(x,y),\\ L^x(x,y) &\leq{\delta\over \delta x} s(x,y)\leq U^x(x,y) \quad \text{ for } (x,y) \in [x_0,x_n] \times [y_0,y_m],\\ L^x(x,y) &\leq{\delta\over \delta y} s(x,y)\leq U^x(x,y)\end{aligned} \] and \[ {\delta ^2\over \delta x^2} s(x,y)\geq 0,\quad {\delta ^2\over \delta y^2}s(x,y)\geq 0, \quad {\delta ^2\over \delta x,\delta y}s(x,y)\geq 0. \] The above interpolation problem is extensively studied with rational bicubic splines and with bivariate polynomial splines. In particular, the existence of range restricted solutions can be shown for special classes of rational bicubic splines.
