Abstract

This paper is concerned with numerical methods in range restricted histopolation. The proposal is to apply splines on refined grids. The ratios of the added split points are considered to be parameters. In this way, by choosing suitable spline classes, range restricted histosplines can always be constructed if the restrictions are compatible with the given histogram. We offer an algorithm for solving the bivariate problem on a rectangular grid which utilizes univariate results as well as tensor product techniques.
