1  Purpose

nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec) calculates a vector of values of a spline computed by nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc).

2  Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nage02.h>
void  nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (Integer nevalv, const double xevalv[], const double yevalv[], const double coefs[], double fevalv[], const Integer iopts[], const double opts[], NagError *fail)

3  Description

nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec) calculates values at prescribed points (xi,yi), for i=1,2,,n, of a bivariate spline computed by nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc). It is derived from the TSFIT package of O. Davydov and F. Zeilfelder.

5  Arguments

1:     nevalvIntegerInput
On entry: n, the number of values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: nevalv1.
2:     xevalv[nevalv]const doubleInput
On entry: the xi values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, xevalv[i-1] must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc).
3:     yevalv[nevalv]const doubleInput
On entry: the yi values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, yevalv[i-1] must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc).
4:     coefs[dim]const doubleCommunication 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 nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc).
On entry: the computed spline coefficients as output from nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc).
5:     fevalv[nevalv]doubleOutput
On exit: if fail.code= NE_NOERROR on exit fevalv[i-1] contains the computed spline value at xi,yi.
6:     iopts[dim]const IntegerCommunication 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 nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc).
On entry: the contents of the array MUST NOT have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc), between calls to nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc) and nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec).
7:     opts[dim]const doubleCommunication 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 nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc).
On entry: the contents of the array MUST NOT have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc), between calls to nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc) and nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec).
8:     failNagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
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, nevalv=value.
Constraint: nevalv1.
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.
NE_INVALID_SPLINE
The fitting routine has not been called, or the array of coefficients has been corrupted.
NE_POINT_OUTSIDE_RECT
On entry, xevalv[value]=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valuexevalv[i-1]value for all i.
On entry, yevalv[value]=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valueyevalv[i-1]value for all i.

7  Accuracy

nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec) uses the de Casteljau algorithm and thus is numerically stable. See Farin and Hansford (2000) for details.

8  Parallelism and Performance

nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec) is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.
Please consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9  Further Comments

A real array of length O1 is dynamically allocated by each invocation of nag_2d_spline_ts_eval (e02jec).

10  Example

See Section 10 in nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc).
