Abstract
We describe explicitly each stage of a numerically stable algorithm for calculating with exponential tension Bsplines with nonuniform choice of tension parameters These splines are piecewisely in the kernel of D 2D 2–p 2 where D stands for ordinary derivative defined on arbitrary meshes with a different choice of the tension parameter p on each interval The algorithm provides values of the associated Bsplines and their generalized and ordinary derivatives by performing positive linear combinations of positive quantities described as lowerorder exponential tension splines We show that nothing else but the knot insertion algorithm and good approximation of a few elementary functions is needed to achieve machine accuracy The underlying theory is that of splines based on Chebyshev canonical systems which are not smooth enough to be ECCsystems First by de Boor algorithm we construct exponential tension spline of class C 1 and then we use quasiOslo type algorithms to evaluate classical nonuniform C 2 tension exponential splines
