The next most simple spline has degree 1. It is also called a linear spline. A closed linear spline (i.e, the first knot and the last are the same) in the plane is just a polygon. A common spline is the natural cubic spline. A cubic spline has degree 3 with continuity C 2, i.e. the values and first and second derivatives are continuous. Natural ...
A spline is a ridge or tooth [1] [2] [3] on a drive shaft that matches with a groove in a mating piece and transfers torque to it, maintaining the angular correspondence between them. For instance, a gear mounted on a shaft might use a male spline on the shaft that matches the female spline on the gear.
Spline (mechanical), a mating feature for rotating elements; Flat spline, a device to draw curves; Spline drive, a type of screw drive; Spline cord, a type of thin rubber cord used to secure a window screen to its frame; Spline (or star filler), a type of plastic cable filler for CAT cable
In the mathematical field of numerical analysis, spline interpolation is a form of interpolation where the interpolant is a special type of piecewise polynomial called a spline. That is, instead of fitting a single, high-degree polynomial to all of the values at once, spline interpolation fits low-degree polynomials to small subsets of the ...
Spline curve drawn as a weighted sum of B-splines with control points/control polygon, and marked component curves. In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, a B-spline or basis spline is a spline function that has minimal support with respect to a given degree, smoothness, and domain partition.
A spline. A spline consists of a long strip fixed in position at a number of points whose tension creates a smooth curve passing through those points, for the purpose of transferring that curve to another material. [1] Before computers were used for creating engineering designs, drafting tools were employed by designers drawing by hand. [2]

The thin plate spline approach can be generalized to smoothing with respect to more than two dimensions and to other orders of differentiation in the penalty. [1] As the dimension increases there are some restrictions on the smallest order of differential that can be used, [ 1 ] but actually Duchon's original paper, [ 9 ] gives slightly more ...
