2Spline (mathematics) — A quadratic spline composed of six polynomial segments. Between point 0 and point 1 a straight line. Between point 1 and point 2 a parabola with second derivative = 4. Between point 2 and point 3 a parabola with second derivative = 2. Between… …
3Spline interpolation — See also: Spline (mathematics) In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, spline interpolation is a form of interpolation where the interpolant is a special type of piecewise polynomial called a spline. Spline interpolation is preferred… …

7B-spline — In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, a B spline is a spline function that has minimal support with respect to a given degree, smoothness, and domain partition. A fundamental theorem states that every spline function of a given… …
8Flat spline — A spline consists of a long strip fixed in position at a number of points that relaxes to form a smooth curve passing through those points.Before computers were used for creating engineering designs, drafting tools were employed by designers… …
9I-spline — In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, an I spline[1][2] is a monotone spline function. An I spline family of order three with four interior knots …
10Thin plate spline — This is a brief derivation for the closed form solutions for smoothing Thin Plate Spline . Details about these splines can be found in (Wahba, 1990).Thin plate splines (TPS) were introduced to geometric design by Duchon (Duchon, 1976). The name… …
