What is the formula for cubic spline?
The cubic spline is a function S(x) on [a, b] with the following properties. Since each Si(x) = ai + bi · (x − xi) + ci · (x − xi)2 + di · (x − xi)3 has four constants to be determined, we have 4n unknowns and the above conditions give us 4n equations.
What is an advantage of cubic spline interpolation compared to Lagrange interpolation?
Cubic spline interpolation is a special case for Spline interpolation that is used very often to avoid the problem of Runge's phenomenon. This method gives an interpolating polynomial that is smoother and has smaller error than some other interpolating polynomials such as Lagrange polynomial and Newton polynomial.
What is the difference between linear and quadratic spline interpolation?
A- Linear Interpolation, the simplest form of interpolations to connect data points with straight line. B- Quadratic Interpolation, a strategy for improving the estimate is to introduce some curvature into the line connecting the points.
How do you find the linear interpolation spline?
The linear spline represents a set of line segments between the two adjacent data points (Vk,Ik) and (Vk+1,Ik+1). The equations for each line segment can be immediately found in a simple form: Ik(V) = Ik + ( Ik+1 - Ik) ( V - Vk ) / (Vk+1 - Vk), where V = [Vk,Vk+1] and k = 0,1,...,(n-1).
