Abstract: In this paper, we formally investigate two mathematical aspects of Hermite splines which translate to features that are relevant to their practical applications. We first demonstrate that Hermite splines are maximally localized in the sense that their support sizes are minimal among pairs of functions with identical reproduction properties. Then, we precisely quantify the approximation power of Hermite splines for reconstructing functions and their derivatives, and show that they are asymptotically identical to cubic B-splines for these tasks. Hermite splines therefore combine optimal localization and excellent approximation power, while retaining interpolation properties and closed-form expression, in contrast to existing similar approaches. These findings shed a new light on the convenience of Hermite splines for use in computer graphics and geometrical design.
