Abstract: We extend the classical theory of variational interpolating splines to the case of compact Riemannian manifolds. Our consideration includes in particular such problems as interpolation of a function by its values on a discrete set of points and interpolation by values of integrals over a family of submanifolds. The existence and uniqueness of interpolating variational spline on a Riemannian manifold is proven. Optimal properties of such splines are shown. The explicit formulas of variational splines in terms of the eigen functions of Laplace-Beltrami operator are found. It is also shown that in the case of interpolation on discrete sets of points variational splines converge to a function in Ck norms on manifolds. Applications of these results to the hemispherical and Radon transforms on the unit sphere are given.
