Compact support a function gx has compact support if there exists c2r such that gx 0 for any xwith jxjc. These functions all perform different forms of piecewise cubic hermite interpolation. Data matrix is often illconditioned when n is large. Discussions of the other forms of interpolation will be deferred until later chapters. Piecewise polynomial interpolation recall the examples of higher degree polynomial interpolation of the function fx.
Piecewise polynomial interpolation if the number of data points is large, then polynomial interpolation becomes problematic since highdegree interpolation yields oscillatory polynomials, when the data may t a smooth function.

This is an alternative to polynomial interpolation through an entire data set is to construct polynomial interpolants to subsets of the data. Pdf piecewise polynomial kernels for image interpolation. Each function differs in how it computes the slopes of the interpolant, leading to different behaviors when the underlying data has flat areas or undulations. This class represents a curve that is a piecewise polynomial. Use ppval to evaluate the piecewise polynomial at specific points, or unmkpp to extract details about the piecewise polynomial. I know that this is possible for scipys interp1d but for piecewise polynomial interpolation it does not seem to work the same way. In all other cases it is much better to use a piecewise polynomial.
