A quartic trigonometric interpolatory spline with local free parameters

Abstract

The construction of trigonometric interpolatory splines plays a very important role in geometric modeling. This paper presents a quartic trigonometric interpolatory spline with local free parameters. The new spline not only automatically interpolates the given points and achieves C2 continuity, but also owns shape adjustability when the points remain fixed. Some examples show that the shape of the new spline can easily realize local and global adjustment by changing the free parameters.
