A new interpolation spline with two parameters called EH interpolation spline is presented in this paper which is the extensionof the standard cubic Hermite interpolation spline and inherits the same properties of the standard cubic Hermite interpolationspline Given the fixed interpolation conditions the shape of the proposed splines can be adjusted by changing the values of theparameters Also the introduced spline could approximate to the interpolated function better than the standard cubic Hermiteinterpolation spline and the quartic Hermite interpolation splines with single parameter by a new algorithm
1 Introduction
Spline interpolation is a useful and powerful tool for curvesand surfaces modeling Standard cubic Hermite spline isone of those interpolation functions But for the giveninterpolation condition the cubic Hermite interpolationspline is fixed that is to say the shape of the interpolationcurve or surface is fixed for the given interpolation data [1ndash6] Since the interpolation function is unique for the giveninterpolation data to modify the shape of the interpolationcurve to approximate the given curve seems to be impossibleand it is contradictory to the uniqueness of the interpolationfunction for the given interpolation data For the giveninterpolation condition how to improve the approximationaccuracy of the interpolation spline is an important problemin the computer aided geometric design In recent yearsmany authors have presented some new method to modifythe shape of the interpolation curve to satisfy the industrialproduct design with several kinds of new interpolationsplines with parameters [7ndash20]
These new splines all have similar properties of thestandard cubic Hermite spline For example for the giveninterpolation data if interpolation interval approaches zerotheoretically speaking these splines can approximate thegiven curve and surfacewell However there exists a problemin the process of the actual calculation the amount of
computation will increase dramatically if the length of theinterpolating intervals decreases On the other hand theapproximation accuracy of these new splines may not bebetter than the standard cubic Hermite spline
In [7ndash17] many rational form interpolation splines withmultiple parameters were presented For the given interpo-lation data the change of the parameters causes the changeof the interpolation curve Nevertheless the computation ofthe splines with multiple parameters is very complicatedSeveral kinds of rational splines with a single parameter werepresented in the papers [18 19] which is simple to computebut its approximation accuracy is not good for the givencurves and surfaces In general polynomial-form splinesare suitable to be used to design and compute In [20] apolynomial-form spline called quartic Hermite spline withsingle parameter is presented as the extension of the standardHermite spline The quartic spline has a simple form and itsapproximation rate to the given curves and surfaces is nothigh
In this paper a class of new quartic splines with twoparameters is developed which is the extension of thestandard cubic Hermite interpolation spline and inherits thesame properties of the standard cubic Hermite interpolationspline For the given interpolation conditions the shape ofthe proposed splines can be adjusted by changing the valuesof the parameters Furthermore the introduced splines could

approximate to the interpolated functions better than thestandard cubic Hermite interpolation splines and the quarticHermite interpolation splines with single parameter
The remainder of the paper is organized as followsSection 2 introduces the standard cubic Hermite spline andsome of its properties A kind of interpolation spline with twoparameters is presented in Section 3 Section 4 discusses theapproximation of the introduced spline curve with numericalexamples In the end a summary and conclusions are given
2 The Standard Cubic Hermite Splineand Its Basis Functions
Generally for 119905 isin [0 1] the following four basis functions
1205720 (119905) = 1 minus 3119905

1205721(119905) = 3119905

1205730 (119905) = 119905 minus 2119905
2+ 1199053
1205731(119905) = minus 119905

are called the standard cubic Hermite basesThese bases satisfy
1205720(0) = 120572
1(1) = 1 120572
0(1) = 120572
1(0) = 0

For given knots 119886 = 1199090lt 1199091lt sdot sdot sdot lt 119909
119899= 119887 and data
(119909119894 119910119894 119889119894) 119894 = 0 1 119899 where 119910
119894and 119889
119894are the values of
the function value and the first-order derivative value of thefunction being interpolated let ℎ

119894)ℎ119894
and then the standard cubic Hermite spline in the interval[119909119894 119909119894+1] can be defined as follows
119867119894(119909) = 120572
0(119905) 119910119894+ 1205721(119905) 119910119894+1+ 1205730(119905) ℎ119894119889119894+ 1205731(119905) ℎ119894119889119894+1
119894 = 0 1 119899 minus 1

Obviously we have119867119894(119909119894) = 119910119894 119867119894(119909119894+1) = 119910119894+1 1198671015840
119894(119909119894) =
119889119894 1198671015840
119894(119909119894+1) = 119889119894+1
The standard cubic Hermite spline is C1 continuous
However if interpolation data is given the shape and approx-imation of the spline cannot be changed
3 The EH Interpolation Spline
In order to overcome the disadvantage of the standard cubicHermite spline we extend its basis functions firstly

are calledbasis functions of the EH interpolation splinebriefly EH bases
The EH bases are the extension of the standard cubicHermite bases When 120582
119894= 120583119894= 0 the bases are the standard
cubic Hermite bases The bases have the similar properties ofthe standard cubic Hermite bases
By computing directly we have 1198901205720(0) = 119890120572

1(1 minus 119905) = 0
When 120582119894= 120583119894 the EH bases (4) are basis functions with
single parameter in [20]Figure 1 shows the four EHbases where the solid lines are
the standard Hermite bases the parameters 120582119894= 2 120583
119894= minus2
are for the dot-dash lines and 120582119894= minus2 120583
119894= 2 are for dashed
lineSo we may construct the Ferguson curve with two pa-
rameters based on the EH bases as follows
EH119894(119905) = 119890120572
0(119905) 119901119894+ 1198901205721(119905) 119901119894+1+ 11989012057301199011015840

where 119901119894 119901119894+1
and 1199011015840119894 1199011015840
119894+1are two interpolation points and
their tangent vectors respectivelyFor the given two interpolation points and tangent
vectors with the different parameters 120582119894 120583119894 we may obtain
different shape of the Ferguson curve with two parametersaccordingly
Figure 2 shows the Ferguson curves with different param-eters where the solid line is the standard Ferguson splinecurve with 120582

Obviously for the data set (119909119894 119910119894 119889119894) 119894 = 0 1 119899
EH(119909) satisfies

If 120582119894= 120583119894= 0 it is just the standard cubic Hermite
spline It is of interest that for suitable selected parameters120582119894 120583119894 the piecewise interpolation function EH(119909) can be
1198622-continuous in the interval [119909

119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1

may be obtained If the successive parameters (120582119894minus1 120583119894minus1)
and (120582119894 120583119894) satisfy (9) at 119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1 then EH(119909) isin
1198622(1199090 119909119899) Furthermore if the knots are equally spaced and
120582119894= 120583119894= 0 then (9) becomes the well-known tridiagonal
system for a cubic spline

Hence if given the parameter values 1205820 1205830in the interval
[1199090 1199091] by (9) we may obtain the 120582

we can construct a 1198622-continuous interpolation curve

The remainder of the paper is organized as followsSection 2 introduces the standard cubic Hermite spline andsome of its properties A kind of interpolation spline with twoparameters is presented in Section 3 Section 4 discusses theapproximation of the introduced spline curve with numericalexamples In the end a summary and conclusions are given

and then the standard cubic Hermite spline in the interval[119909119894 119909119894+1] can be defined as follows
119867119894(119909) = 120572

Obviously we have119867119894(119909119894) = 119910119894 119867119894(119909119894+1) = 119910119894+1 1198671015840

119894(119909119894+1) = 119889119894+1
The standard cubic Hermite spline is C1 continuous
However if interpolation data is given the shape and approx-imation of the spline cannot be changed
3 The EH Interpolation Spline
In order to overcome the disadvantage of the standard cubicHermite spline we extend its basis functions firstly

are calledbasis functions of the EH interpolation splinebriefly EH bases
The EH bases are the extension of the standard cubicHermite bases When 120582

When 120582119894= 120583119894 the EH bases (4) are basis functions with

the standard Hermite bases the parameters 120582119894= 2 120583

are for the dot-dash lines and 120582119894= minus2 120583

rameters based on the EH bases as follows

where 119901119894 119901119894+1
and 1199011015840119894 1199011015840
119894+1are two interpolation points and
their tangent vectors respectivelyFor the given two interpolation points and tangent
vectors with the different parameters 120582119894 120583119894 we may obtain
different shape of the Ferguson curve with two parametersaccordingly

spline in the interval [119909119894 119909119894+1] can be defined as follows
EH (119909)|[119909119894 119909119894+1]

0(119905) 119890120573

Obviously for the data set (119909119894 119910119894 119889119894) 119894 = 0 1 119899
EH(119909) satisfies
RH (119909119894) = 119910119894 RH1015840 (119909
119894) = 119889119894
119894 = 0 1 119899
(7)
If 120582119894= 120583119894= 0 it is just the standard cubic Hermite
spline It is of interest that for suitable selected parameters120582119894 120583119894 the piecewise interpolation function EH(119909) can be
1198622-continuous in the interval [119909

119894=

EH10158401015840 (119909119894+) = EH10158401015840 (119909

then the equations connecting the parameters 120582119894and 120583

119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1

may be obtained If the successive parameters (120582119894minus1 120583119894minus1)
and (120582119894 120583119894) satisfy (9) at 119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1 then EH(119909) isin
1198622(1199090 119909119899) Furthermore if the knots are equally spaced and
120582119894= 120583119894= 0 then (9) becomes the well-known tridiagonal
system for a cubic spline
119889119894minus1+ 4119889119894+ 119889119894+1
= 3 (Δ119894minus1+ Δ119894) 119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1 (10)
Hence if given the parameter values 1205820 1205830in the interval
[1199090 1199091] by (9) we may obtain the 120582
1and 1205831and so onThus
we can construct a 1198622-continuous interpolation curve
4 The Approximation of the EHInterpolation Spline
According to the interpolation reminder of cubic Hermitespline when interpolation interval approaches zero the cubicHermite spline curve can approximate well to the functionbeing interpolated However for the EH interpolation splinewe constructed it can approximate well to the function being

119894 we can call RH
119894(119909) has ldquogood

According to the Definition 3 if EH120576119894lt 119867120576119894 we can get
the range of the parameters value 120582119894and 120583

119894 we may
get the range of the parameters 120582119894and 120583
119894 For the fixed

Obviously for the data set (119909119894 119910119894 119889119894) 119894 = 0 1 119899
EH(119909) satisfies

119894 = 0 1 119899

If 120582119894= 120583119894= 0 it is just the standard cubic Hermite
spline It is of interest that for suitable selected parameters120582119894 120583119894 the piecewise interpolation function EH(119909) can be
1198622-continuous in the interval [119909

119894=

EH10158401015840 (119909119894+) = EH10158401015840 (119909
119894minus) 119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1 (8)
then the equations connecting the parameters 120582119894and 120583

119894))]
119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1
(9)
may be obtained If the successive parameters (120582119894minus1 120583119894minus1)
and (120582119894 120583119894) satisfy (9) at 119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1 then EH(119909) isin
1198622(1199090 119909119899) Furthermore if the knots are equally spaced and
120582119894= 120583119894= 0 then (9) becomes the well-known tridiagonal
system for a cubic spline
119889119894minus1+ 4119889119894+ 119889119894+1
= 3 (Δ119894minus1+ Δ119894) 119894 = 1 2 119899 minus 1 (10)
Hence if given the parameter values 1205820 1205830in the interval
[1199090 1199091] by (9) we may obtain the 120582
1and 1205831and so onThus
we can construct a 1198622-continuous interpolation curve

119894 we can call RH
119894(119909) has ldquogood

According to the Definition 3 if EH120576119894lt 119867120576119894 we can get
