1 Purpose

e02jfc calculates a mesh of values of a spline computed by e02jdc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  e02jfc (Integer nxeval, Integer nyeval, const double xevalm[], const double yevalm[], const double coefs[], double fevalm[], const Integer iopts[], const double opts[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: e02jfc, nag_fit_dim2_spline_ts_evalm or nag_2d_spline_ts_eval_rect.

3 Description

e02jfc calculates values on a rectangular mesh of a bivariate spline computed by e02jdc. The points in the mesh are defined by x coordinates (xi), for i=1,2,,nx, and y coordinates (yj), for j=1,2,,ny. This function is derived from the TSFIT package of O. Davydov and F. Zeilfelder.

5 Arguments

1: nxeval Integer Input
On entry: nx, the number of values in the x direction forming the mesh on which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: nxeval1.
2: nyeval Integer Input
On entry: ny, the number of values in the y direction forming the mesh on which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: nyeval1.
3: xevalm[nxeval] const double Input
On entry: the (xi) values forming the mesh on which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, xevalm[i-1] must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by e02jdc.
4: yevalm[nyeval] const double Input
On entry: the (yj) values forming the mesh on which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all j, yevalm[j-1] must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by e02jdc.
5: coefs[dim] const double Communication Array
Note: the dimension, dim, 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 e02jdc.
On entry: the computed spline coefficients as output from e02jdc.
6: fevalm[nxeval×nyeval] double Output
Note: the (i,j)th element of the matrix is stored in fevalm[(j-1)×nxeval+i-1].
On exit: if fail.code= NE_NOERROR on exit fevalm[(j-1)×nxeval+i-1] contains the computed spline value at (xi,yj).
7: iopts[dim] const Integer Communication Array
Note: the dimension, dim, 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 e02zkc.
On entry: the contents of the array MUST NOT have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to e02zkc, between calls to e02jdc and e02jfc.
8: opts[dim] const double Communication Array
Note: the dimension, dim, 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 e02zkc.
On entry: the contents of the array MUST NOT have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to e02zkc, between calls to e02jdc and e02jfc.
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INITIALIZATION
Option arrays are not initialized or are corrupted.
NE_INT
On entry, nxeval=value.
Constraint: nxeval1.
On entry, nyeval=value.
Constraint: nyeval1.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_INVALID_SPLINE
The fitting routine has not been called, or the array of coefficients has been corrupted.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_POINT_OUTSIDE_RECT
On entry, xevalm[value]=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valuexevalm[i-1]value for all i.
On entry, yevalm[value]=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valueyevalm[j-1]value for all j.

7 Accuracy

e02jfc uses the de Casteljau algorithm and thus is numerically stable. See Farin and Hansford (2000) for details.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
e02jfc 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 O(1) is dynamically allocated by each invocation of e02jfc. No memory is allocated internally when evaluating a C2 approximation.
