Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (In):: xevalv(nevalv), yevalv(nevalv), coefs(*), opts(*)
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Out):: fevalv(nevalv)
C Header Interface
#include <nagmk26.h>
void  e02jef_ (const Integer *nevalv, const double xevalv[], const double yevalv[], const double coefs[], double fevalv[], const Integer iopts[], const double opts[], Integer *ifail)

Description

e02jef calculates values at prescribed points xi,yi, for i=1,2,,n, of a bivariate spline computed by e02jdf. It is derived from the TSFIT package of O. Davydov and F. Zeilfelder.

Arguments

1:     nevalv – IntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: nevalv1.
2:     xevalvnevalv – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the xi values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, xevalvi must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by e02jdf.
3:     yevalvnevalv – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the yi values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, yevalvi must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by e02jdf.
4:     coefs* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument coefs in the previous call to e02jdf.
On entry: the computed spline coefficients as output from e02jdf.
5:     fevalvnevalv – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: if ifail=0 on exit fevalvi contains the computed spline value at xi,yi.
6:     iopts* – Integer arrayCommunication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument iopts in the previous call to e02zkf.
On entry: the contents of the array must not have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to e02zkf, between calls to e02jdf and e02jef.
7:     opts* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
Note: the dimension of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array must be the same array passed as argument opts in the previous call to e02zkf.
On entry: the contents of the array must not have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to e02zkf, between calls to e02jdf and e02jef.
8:     ifail – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this argument, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1 or 1 is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ifail=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ifail=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
ifail=2
On entry, nevalv=value.
Constraint: nevalv1.
ifail=9
Option arrays are not initialized or are corrupted.
ifail=10
The fitting routine has not been called, or the array of coefficients has been corrupted.
ifail=13
On entry, xevalvvalue=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valuexevalvivalue for all i.
ifail=14
On entry, yevalvvalue=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valueyevalvivalue for all i.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.9 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
ifail=-399
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 3.8 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
ifail=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.

Accuracy

e02jef uses the de Casteljau algorithm and thus is numerically stable. See Farin and Hansford (2000) for details.

8
Parallelism and Performance

e02jef is not threaded in any implementation.

9
Further Comments

To evaluate a C1 approximation (i.e., when Global Smoothing Level=1), a real array of length O1 is dynamically allocated by each invocation of e02jef. No memory is allocated internally when evaluating a C2 approximation.
