public class CsPeriodic
extends Spline

Extension of the Spline class to interpolate data points with periodic boundary conditions.

Class CsPeriodic computes a cubic spline interpolant to a set of data points for . The breakpoints of the spline are the abscissas. The program enforces periodic endpoint conditions. This means that the spline s satisfies s(a) = s(b), , and , where a is the leftmost abscissa and b is the rightmost abscissa. If the ordinate values corresponding to a and b are not equal, then a warning message is issued. The ordinate value at b is set equal to the ordinate value at a and the interpolant is computed.

If the data points arise from the values of a smooth (say ) periodic function f, i.e. , then the error will behave in a predictable fashion. Let be the breakpoint vector for the above spline interpolant. Then, the maximum absolute error satisfies

$|f-s|_{[xi_0,xi_{n-1}]} le C |f^{(4)}|_{[{xi_0 ,xi_{n-1} }]} |xi|^4$

where

$|xi|;: = max_{i=1,ldots,n-1} |xi_i - xi_{i - 1} |$
