Abstract

A subdivision procedure is developed to solve a \(C^2\) Hermite interpolation problem with the further request of preserving the shape of the initial data. We consider a specific non-stationary and non-uniform variant of the Merrien \(HC^2\) subdivision family, and we provide a data dependent strategy to select the related parameters which ensures convergence and shape preservation for any set of initial monotone and/or convex data. Each step of the proposed subdivision procedure can be regarded as the midpoint evaluation of an interpolating function—and of its first and second derivatives—in a suitable space of \(C^2\) functions of dimension \(6\) which has tension properties. The limit function of the subdivision procedure is a \(C^2\) piecewise quintic polynomial interpolant.
