Optimale hermite-interpolation differenzierbarer periodischer Funktionen

For the Favard class F_r in the space C_2π of continuous 2π-periodic functions we solve the following problem. Given x and knots x₀< x₁ < ··· < x_v−1., x_u− 2π we determine weights x_ki(0 k · n, 0 j < r) such that is minimal. The optimal weights are unique (except for a trivial case) and we obtain them from a system of periodic polynomial splines u_kj(0 k < n, 0 j< r): α_kj = u_kj(x). These splines induce an interpolation operator whose degree of approximation with respect to the class F_r is minimal if the knots are equidistant. Finally, we describe an efficient numerical procedure which shows how to compute the interpolation spline in the equidistant case.
