Abstract
Let τ=(a=x0<x1<⋅⋅⋅<xn=b) be a partition of an interval [a,b] of R, and let f be a piecewise function of class Ck on [a,b] except at knots xi where it is only of class \(C^{k_{i}}\) , ki≤k. We study in this paper a novel method which smooth the function f at xi, 0≤i≤n. We first define a new basis of the space of polynomials of degree ≤2k+1, and we describe algorithms for smoothing the function f. Then, as an application, we give a recursive computation of classical Hermite spline interpolants, and we present a method which allows us to compress Hermite data. The most part of these results are illustrated by some numerical examples.
