Cubic B-Spline Functions and Their Usage in Interpolation

Maria Munguia, Dambaru Bhatta

Abstract


Here we investigate the use of cubic B-splines in interpolating functions and data generated from real objects. First, we derive the cubic B-spline functions, then we use these functions for interpolation. We consider two types of boundary conditions, namely natural and clamped conditions. Examples with numerical results are presented for the natural and the clamped boundary conditions. Numerical results indicate that the clamped cubic B-splines give better interpolation than the natural cubic B-splines near the end points.
Also, the cubic B-spline method creates unique cubic polynomials at each sub-interval, regardless of the value of the number of intervals.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information.

However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
