Cubic spline interpolation has important applications in engineering.
Generally, there are two methods to establish spline interpolation: the three
rotation method with the first derivative as the parameter (m method) and the
three bending moment method with the second derivative as the parameter
(M method). When the interpolation node equations are established, the m
method is more simple to deal with the first kind of boundary conditions, and
the M method is more convenient to deal with the second kind of boundary
conditions. In order to facilitate the calculation programming, the establishment
and solution of the nodal equations of cubic spline interpolation three rotation
method (m method) are derived in this paper.
