Spline functions entered Approximation Theory as solutions of natural extremal problems. A typical example is the problem of drawing a function curve through gi

Subject of multivariate splines presented from an elementary point of view; includes many open problems.

This book contains the refereed papers which were presented at the interna tional conference on "Multivariate Approximation and Splines" held in Mannheim, Germa

This textbook is intended to supplement the classical theory of uni- and multivariate splines and their approximation and interpolation properties with those of

B-splines are fundamental to approximation and data fitting, geometric modeling, automated manufacturing, computer graphics, and numerical simulation. With an e
