- Type Parameters:
T
- the type of the field elements
- All Implemented Interfaces:
CalculusFieldUnivariateFunction<T>
A polynomial spline function consists of a set of
interpolating polynomials and an ascending array of domain
knot points, determining the intervals over which the spline function
is defined by the constituent polynomials. The polynomials are assumed to
have been computed to match the values of another function at the knot
points. The value consistency constraints are not currently enforced by
PolynomialSplineFunction
itself, but are assumed to hold among
the polynomials and knot points passed to the constructor.
N.B.: The polynomials in the polynomials
property must be
centered on the knot points to compute the spline function values.
See below.
The domain of the polynomial spline function is
[smallest knot, largest knot]
. Attempts to evaluate the
function at values outside of this range generate IllegalArgumentExceptions.
The value of the polynomial spline function for an argument x
is computed as follows:
- The knot array is searched to find the segment to which
x
belongs. Ifx
is less than the smallest knot point or greater than the largest one, anIllegalArgumentException
is thrown. - Let
j
be the index of the largest knot point that is less than or equal tox
. The value returned ispolynomials[j](x - knot[j])
- Since:
- 1.5

FieldPolynomialSplineFunction
public FieldPolynomialSplineFunction(T[] knots, FieldPolynomialFunction<T>[] polynomials) throws MathIllegalArgumentException, NullArgumentException Construct a polynomial spline function with the given segment delimiters and interpolating polynomials. The constructor copies both arrays and assigns the copies to the knots and polynomials properties, respectively.- Parameters:
knots
- Spline segment interval delimiters.polynomials
- Polynomial functions that make up the spline.- Throws:
NullArgumentException
- if either of the input arrays isnull
.MathIllegalArgumentException
- if knots has length less than 2.MathIllegalArgumentException
- ifpolynomials.length != knots.length - 1
.MathIllegalArgumentException
- if theknots
array is not strictly increasing.
