Abstract

We consider a hybrid form of combinations of regular continuous functions and irregular fractal interpolation functions in data fitting problems. Three types of models are considered in this paper. We apply a sequential quadratic programming method, SLSQP, to find the values of hyperparameters in these models that minimize the given empirical error. Two examples are given to show the results. The advantage of our approach is that it is not limited to types and construction methods of fractal functions.
