The standard Clough-Tocher split-domain scheme constructs a surface element with quadratic precision. In this paper, I will look at methods for improving the degrees of freedom in Clough-Tocher schemes. In particular , I will discuss modiications to the cross-boundary construction that improve the interpolant from quadratic precision to cubic precision. In the general scattered data interpolati...

This paper presents a novel image interpolation method, extended linear interpolation, which is a low-cost and high-speed architecture with interpolation quality compatible to that of bi-cubic convolution interpolation. The method of reducing computational complexity of generating weighting coefficients is proposed. Based on the approach, the efficient hardware architecture is designed under re...

Cubic Hermite interpolation ensures continuity of derivatives between elements, so as well as providing an excellent representation of a smooth function, it also accurately models its gradients. Another attractive feature of this interpolation is that because each node is shared by neighbouring elements, a mesh of cubic Hermite elements has no more unknowns than a mesh of quadratic Lagrange ele...

Consider a family of functions of a single variable x: Φ(x; a0, a1, . . . , an), where a0, . . . , an are the parameters. The problem of interpolation for Φ can be stated as follows: Given n + 1 real or complex pairs of numbers (xi, fi), i = 0, . . . , n, with xi 6= xk for i 6= k, determine a0, . . . , an such that Φ(xi; a0, . . . , an) = fi, i = 0, . . . , n. The above is a linear interpolatio...

This paper deals with the shape preserving C rational cubic interpolation. The developed rational cubic interpolating function has only one free parameter. The approximation order of rational cubic function is investigated and range of optimal error constant is determined. Moreover, positive, constrained and monotone data preserving schemes are developed. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification...
