Abstract

In this paper, univariate cubic L 1 interpolating splines based on the first derivative and on 5-point windows are introduced. Analytical results for minimizing the local spline functional on 5-point windows are presented and, based on these results, an efficient algorithm for calculating the spline coefficients is set up. It is shown that cubic L 1 splines based on the first derivative and on 5-point windows preserve linearity of the original data and avoid extraneous oscillation. Computational examples, including comparison with first-derivative-based cubic L 1 splines calculated by a primal affine algorithm and with second-derivative-based cubic L 1 splines, show the advantages of the first-derivative-based cubic L 1 splines calculated by the new algorithm.
