e02bb
is the AD Library version of the primal routine
e02bbf.
Based (in the C++ interface) on overload resolution,
e02bb can be used for primal, tangent and adjoint
evaluation. It supports tangents and adjoints of first order.
Corresponding to the overloaded C++ function, the Fortran interface provides five routines with names reflecting the type used for active real arguments. The actual subroutine and type names are formed by replacing AD and ADTYPE in the above as follows:
The function is overloaded on ADTYPE which represents the type of active arguments. ADTYPE may be any of the following types: double, dco::ga1s<double>::type, dco::gt1s<double>::type
Note: this function can be used with AD tools other than dco/c++. For details, please contact NAG.
3Description
e02bb
is the AD Library version of the primal routine
e02bbf.
e02bbf evaluates a cubic spline from its B-spline representation.

5Arguments
In addition to the arguments present in the interface of the primal routine,
e02bb includes some arguments specific to AD.
A brief summary of the AD specific arguments is given below. For the remainder, links are provided to the corresponding argument from the primal routine.
A tooltip popup for all arguments can be found by hovering over the argument name in Section 2 and in this section.
On entry: a configuration object that holds information on the differentiation strategy. Details on setting the AD strategy are described in AD handle object in the NAG AD Library Introduction.
e02bb preserves all error codes from e02bbf and in addition can return:
An unexpected AD error has been triggered by this routine. Please
contact NAG.

10Example
The following examples are variants of the example for
e02bbf,
modified to demonstrate calling the NAG AD Library.
Description of the primal example.
Evaluate at nine equally-spaced points in the interval the cubic spline with (augmented) knots , , , , , , , , , , and normalized cubic B-spline coefficients , , , , , , .
The example program is written in a general form that will enable a cubic spline with intervals, in its normalized cubic B-spline form, to be evaluated at equally-spaced points in the interval . The program is self-starting in that any number of datasets may be supplied.
