“…In the case of the Akima quartic spline with natural type endpoint conditions we obtain the estimate (7) |m ] and [x i−1/2 , x i ], the estimate of |S (x) − y (x)| will be performed on each half-subinterval [x i−1 , x i−1/2 ] and [x i−1/2 , x i ], i = 1, n, similarly as in the proof of Corollary 7 from [6], obtaining In contrast with the case of cubic splines, by comparing ( 7)-( 8) and ( 12)-( 13), we see that for the quartic splines (3) the condition of minimal curvature on the intervals [x 0 , x 1 ] and [x n−1 , x n ], and the condition s ′′ (a) = s ′′ (b) = 0, lead to different spline interpolants.…”
