BSOPK

   more...
Computes the “optimal” spline knot sequence.
Required Arguments
NDATA — Number of data points. (Input)
XDATA — Array of length NDATA containing the location of the data points. (Input)
KORDER — Order of the spline. (Input)
XKNOT — Array of length NDATA + KORDER containing the knot sequence. (Output)
FORTRAN 90 Interface
Generic: CALL BSOPK (NDATA, XDATA, KORDER, XKNOT)
Specific: The specific interface names are S_BSOPK and D_BSOPK.
FORTRAN 77 Interface
Single: CALL BSOPK (NDATA, XDATA, KORDER, XKNOT)
Double: The double precision name is DBSOPK.
Description
Given the abscissas x = XDATA for an interpolation problem and the order of the spline interpolant k = KORDER, BSOPK returns the knot sequence t = XKNOT that minimizes the constant in the error estimate
f  s   c  f(k) 
In the above formula, f is any function in Ck and s is the spline interpolant to f at the abscissas x with knot sequence t.
The algorithm is based on a routine described in de Boor (1978, page 204), which in turn is based on a theorem of Micchelli, Rivlin and Winograd (1976).
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of B2OPK/DB2OPK. The reference is:
CALL B2OPK (NDATA, XDATA, KORDER, XKNOT, MAXIT, WK, IWK)
The additional arguments are as follows:
MAXIT — Maximum number of iterations of Newton’s Method. (Input) A suggested value is 10.
WK — Work array of length (NDATA KORDER) * (3 * KORDER 2) + 6 * NDATA + 2 * KORDER + 5.
IWK — Work array of length NDATA.

Description

6
Newton’s method iteration did not converge.
4
3
The XDATA values must be distinct.
4
4
Interpolation matrix is singular. The XDATA values may be too close together.
3. The default value for MAXIT is 10, this can be overridden by calling B2OPK/DB2OPK directly with a larger value.
Example
In this example, we compute (for k = 3, …, 8) six spline interpolants sk to F(x) = sin(10x3) on the interval [0, 1]. The routine BSOPK is used to generate the knot sequences for sk and then BSINT is called to obtain the interpolant. We evaluate the absolute error
sk  F
at 100 equally spaced points and print the maximum error for each k.
