Abstract

In this article, we address the problem of interpolating data points by regular L"1-spline polynomial curves of smoothness C^k, k=1, that are invariant under rotation of the data. To obtain a C^1 cubic interpolating curve, we use a local minimization method in parallel on five data points belonging to a sliding window. This procedure is extended to create C^k-continuous L"1 splines, k=2, on larger windows. We show that, in the C^k-continuous (k=1) interpolation case, this local minimization method preserves the linear parts of the data well, while a global L"1 minimization method does not in general do so. The computational complexity of the procedure is linear in the global number of data points, no matter what the order C^k of smoothness of the curve is.
