Abstract

This paper deals with the convexity control and the strain energy control of interpolating curves using a rational cubic spline with linear denominator. The sufficient and necessary conditions for controlling the interpolating curve to be convex or concave are derived. When the function being interpolated is f(t) ∈ C (3) [ t 0 , t n ], the error estimation of the interpolating function and the boundedness of the optimal error coefficient and its double symmetry with regard to parameters are obtained.
