Approximation by the Third-Order Splines on Uniform and Non-uniform Grids and Image Processing

Abstract

This work is one of a series of papers that is devoted to the further investigation of polynomial splines and trigonometric splines of the third order approximation. Polynomial basis splines are better known and therefore more commonly used. However, the use of trigonometric basis splines often provides a smaller approximation error. In some cases, the use of the trigonometric approximations is preferable to the polynomial approximations. Here we continue to compare these two types of approximation. The Lebesgue functions and constants are discussed for the polynomial splines and the trigonometric splines. The examples of the applications of the splines to image enlargement are given.
