- Abstract
- A new subroutine library has been developed to supplement the IMSL and BSPLIN routines in the realm of smoothing splines. It is not self-contained, making frequent use of subroutines from the BSPLIN library. The new subroutines offer several advantages. (1) The order of the spline may be picked by the user. (2) The second derivative of the spline is not constrained to be zero at its end-points. (3) The user of the new subroutines has freedom to choose the number and positions of the knots of the spline. (4) The new subroutines have, as input, an extra set of weights which control the stiffness of the spline between earch pair of knots. The new subroutines were initially developed for use in ship hull approximation for the calculation of boundary layer growth on the hull. For this calculation one needs splines whose second derivatives are very well behaved. TRUNCATED
