Quadratic Spline Example
eng.usf.edu › ~kawQuadratic Spline Interpolation (contd) The first derivatives of two quadratic splines are continuous at the interior points. For example, the derivative of the first spline 1. 1 2 a 1 x +b x + c. is 2a 1 x + b. 1. The derivative of the second spline 2. 2 2 a 2 x +b x + c. is 2a 2 x + b. 2. and the two are equal at x = x. 1. giving 2a 1 x 1 +b 1 ...
METHOD OF QUADRATIC INTERPOLATION
people.math.sc.edu › Quadratic_InterpolationMETHOD OF QUADRATIC INTERPOLATION 3 The minimizer of qis easily found to be 0b=2aby setting q(x) = 0. From (2.2), our minimizer x min can be found: (2.3) x min= b 2a = x 1 1 2 (x 1 x 2)f0 1 f0 1 f 1 f 2 x 1 x 2 This of course readily yields an explicit iteration formula by letting x min= x 3. We have from (2.3): (2.4) x k+1 = x k 1 1 2 (x k 1 x ...
INTERPOLATION - University of Iowa
homepage.math.uiowa.edu/~atkinson/ftp/ENA_Materials/Overhead…INTERPOLATION Interpolation is a process of finding a formula (often a polynomial) whose graph will pass through a given set of points (x,y). As an example, consider defining x0 =0,x1 = π 4,x2 = π 2 and yi=cosxi,i=0,1,2 This gives us the three points (0,1), µ π 4, 1 sqrt(2) ¶, ³ π 2,0 ´ Now find a quadratic polynomial p(x)=a0 + a1x ...
