Abstract
In this paper an algorithm is presented for fitting a cubic spline satisfying certain local concavity and convexity constraints, to a given set of data points. When using theL2 norm, this problem results in a quadratic programming problem which is solved by means of the Theil-Van de Panne procedure. The algorithm makes use of the well-conditioned B-splines to represent the cubic splines. The knots are located automatically, as a function of a given upper limit for the sum of squared residuals. A Fortran IV implementation is given.
