Abstract
Even an elementary study of the interpolation problem
in the simplest linear case, i.e., when s ∈ S 1(x 1,... ,x n ), shows that the solvability of the corresponding system depends entirely on the mutual location of the interpolation nodes \(t = \left\{ {{t_i}} \right\}_0^{n + 1}\) and the spline knots \(x = \left\{ {{x_i}} \right\}_i^n\) For example, in the case t i = x i , i = 1,... ,n, the problem has a unique solution: the piecewise linear function with vertices at (t i, f i ), i = 0,..., n + 1 On the other hand, in the case where three or more interpolation nodes are situated between two consecutive x i ’s, the problem becomes unresolvable. We shall give here a complete characterization of the Hermite interpolation problem by spline functions with multiple knots. The B-spline representation of s leads us to the study of the corresponding collocation matrix {B i (t j)}.
