标题： A practical criterion for the existence of optimal piecewise Chebyshevian spline bases

摘要： TO_BE_TRANSLATED: A piecewise Chebyshevian spline space is a space of spline functions having pieces in different Extended Chebyshev spaces and where the continuity conditions between adjacent spline segments are expressed by means of connection matrices. Any such space is suitable for design purposes when it possesses an optimal basis (i.e. a totally positive basis of minimally supported splines) and when this feature is preserved under knot insertion. Therefore, when any piecewise Chebyshevian spline space where all knots have zero multiplicity enjoys the aforementioned properties, then so does any spline space with knots of arbitrary multiplicity obtained from it. In this paper, we provide a practical criterion and an effective numerical procedure to determine whether or not a given piecewise Chebyshevian spline space with knots of zero multiplicity is suitable for design. Moreover, whenever it exists, we also show how to construct the optimal basis of the space. 显示英文摘要
