Resumen de Approximation of explicit surfaces by fairness bicubic variational splines

Miguel Pasadas Fernández , A. Kouibia

• In this paper we present an approximation method of surfaces by a new type of splines, which we call fairness bicubic splines, from a given Lagrangian data set. An approximating problem of explicit surfaces is obtained by minimizing a quadratic functional in a parametric space of bicubic splines. The existence and uniqueness of this problem are shown as long as a convergence result of the method is established. We analyze some numerical and graphical examples in order to show the validity of our method.
