Description
The routine BSLS3 computes the coefficients of a tensor-product spline least-squares approximation to weighted tensor-product data. The input for this subroutine consists of data vectors to specify the tensor-product grid for the data, three vectors with the weights, the values of the surface on the grid, and the specification for the tensor-product spline. The grid is specified by the three vectors x = XDATA, y = YDATA, and z = ZDATA of length k = NXDATA, l = NYDATA , and m = NZDATA, respectively. A three-dimensional array f = FDATA contains the data values which are to be fit. The three vectors wx = XWEIGH, wy = YWEIGH, and wz = ZWEIGH contain the weights for the weighted least-squares problem. The information for the approximating tensor-product spline must also be provided. This information is contained in kx = KXORD, tx = XKNOT, and K = NXCOEF for the spline in the first variable, in ky = KYORD, ty = YKNOT and L = NYCOEF for the spline in the second variable, and in kz = KZORD, tz = ZKNOT and M = NZCOEF for the spline in the third variable.
The coefficients of the resulting tensor product spline are returned in c = BSCOEF, which is an
K ×  L × M array. The procedure computes coefficients by solving the normal equations in tensor-product form as discussed in de Boor (1978, Chapter 17). The interested reader might also want to study the paper by E. Grosse (1980).
The final result produces coefficients c minimizing
where the function Bstu is the tensor-product of three B-splines of order kx, ky, and kz. Specifically, we have
The spline
can be evaluated at one point using BS3VL and its partial derivatives can be evaluated using BS3DR. If the values on a grid are desired then we recommend BS3GD.
Comments
1. Workspace may be explicitly provided, if desired, by use of B2LS3/DB2LS3. The reference is:

The smallest element of the data point array must be greater than or equal to the K_ORDth knot.

The largest element of the data point array must be less than or equal to the (N_COEF + 1)st knot.
Example
The data for this example arise from the function e(y - z) sin(x + y) + ɛ on the rectangle
[0, 3] × [0, 2] × [0, 1]. Here, ɛ is a uniform random variable with range [.5, .5]. We sample this function on a 4 × 3 × 2 grid and then try to recover it by using tensor-product cubic splines in all variables. We print out the values of the function e(y - z) sin(x + y) on a 4 × 3 × 2 grid and compare these values with the values of the tensor-product spline that was computed using the IMSL routine BSLS3.
