Abstract

We study the performace of adaptive spline interpolation in semi-Lagrangian discretization schemes for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations. We investigate the local approximation properties of cubic splines on locally refined grids by a theoretical analysis. Numerical examples show how this method performs in practice. Using those examples we also illustrate numerical stability issues.
