Weighted rational cubic spline interpolation and its application. (English) Zbl 0961.65009

A weighted rational cubic spline is derived by taking a linear combination of the rational cubic spline with linear denominator and the rational cubic spline based on function values. A sufficient condition for the weighted rational spline curve to lie between two given piecewise linear curves is given. How well the weighted interpolation function approximates the function being interpolated is studied also. Various numerical examples are presented.
