Abstract. Monotonicity preserving interpolation is very important in many sciences and engineering based problems. This paper discuss the monotonicity preserving interpolation for monotone data set by using 2 C rational cubic spline interpolant (cubic/quadratic) with three parameters. The data dependent sufficient conditions for the monotonicity are derived with two degree freedom. Numerical results suggests that the proposed 2 C rational cubic spline preserves the monotonicity of the data and outperform the performance of the other rational cubic spline schemes in term of visually pleasing.
