AnalysisLibErrType Spline (double arrayX[], double arrayY[], int numberOfElements, double firstBoundary, double secondBoundary, double secondDerivatives[]);
Calculates the second derivatives used by the cubic spline interpolant, given a tabulated function of the form yi = f(xi) for i = 0, 1, . . ., n 1, with xi < xi + 1, and given the boundary conditions firstBoundary and secondBoundary such that the interpolant's second derivative matches the specified values at x0 and xn — 1.
You can use this array with SpInterp to calculate an interpolation value.
/* Choose ascending X-values. Pick corresponding Y-values randomly. Set
boundary conditions and specify the cubic spline interpolant to run through the
points. */

Input | ||
Name | Type | Description |
arrayX | double-precision array | The known x-values for the planar function; these values must be in ascending order. |
arrayY | double-precision array | The known y-values for the planar function. |
numberOfElements | integer | Number of elements in arrayX, arrayY, and secondDerivatives. |
firstBoundary | double-precision | The value of the first derivative of the interpolant at the first element of arrayX. |
secondBoundary | double-precision | The value of the first derivative of the interpolant at the last element of arrayX. |
secondDerivatives | double-precision array | Array of second derivatives that specify the interpolant. You can use this array with SpInterp to calculate an interpolation value. These second derivatives represent the continuously differentiable curve to run though the n points (xi, yi). |
