KYORD — Order of the spline in the Y-direction. (Input)
KZORD — Order of the spline in the Z-direction. (Input)
XKNOT — Array of length NXCOEF + KXORD containing the knot sequence in the X-direction. (Input)
XKNOT must be nondecreasing.
YKNOT — Array of length NYCOEF + KYORD containing the knot sequence in the Y-direction. (Input)
YKNOT must be nondecreasing.
ZKNOT — Array of length NZCOEF + KZORD containing the knot sequence in the Z-direction. (Input)
ZKNOT must be nondecreasing.
NXCOEF — Number of B-spline coefficients in the X-direction. (Input)
NYCOEF — Number of B-spline coefficients in the Y-direction. (Input)
NZCOEF — Number of B-spline coefficients in the Z-direction. (Input)

Description
The function
BS3VL evaluates a trivariate tensor-product spline (represented as a linear combination of tensor-product B-splines) at a given point. This routine is a special case of the IMSL routine
BS3DR, which evaluates a partial derivative of such a spline. (The value of a spline is its zero-th derivative.) For more information, see de Boor (1978, pages 351
− 353).
This routine returns the value of the function s at a point (x, y, z) given the coefficients c by computing
where kx, ky, and kz are the orders of the splines. (These numbers are passed to the subroutine in KXORD, KYORD, and KZORD, respectively.) Likewise, tx, ty, and tz are the corresponding knot sequences (XKNOT, YKNOT, and ZKNOT).
Comments
Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of B23VL/DB23VL. The reference is:
CALL B23VL (X, Y, Z, KXORD, KYORD, KZORD, XKNOT, YKNOT, ZKNOT, NXCOEF, NYCOEF, NZCOEF, BSCOEF, WK)
The additional argument is:
WK — Work array of length 3 * MAX(KXORD, KYORD, KZORD) + KYORD * KZORD + KZORD.
