Abstract

An algorithm for the construction of a cubic spline curve with relatively good shape that interpolates specified data points at some knots and passes through specified regions at some other knots is presented. The curve constructed by the algorithm has minimum energy on each of its components. This algorithm has applications in various fields, such as the reconstruction of natural phenomena where data points cannot be sampled exactly, or computer-aided modeling where some of the fitting points cannot be explicitly specified.
