removed deprecated (geometry) tag - see the tag info: http://mathoverflow.net/tags/geometry/info; if there are some other geometry-related tags which are suitable, please use some of them instead

Sep 22, 2010 at 0:40 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @Ganesh, ah, I read the parenthetical e.g. as illustrating the problem. I see now. And after all this clarification, I am not sure I have a substantive remark. Sorry!
Sep 22, 2010 at 0:29 comment added Ganesh @Joseph: That's why my main question is about general polynomial splines, and not about cubic splines- about which I gave only an illustration
Sep 22, 2010 at 0:25 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @Ganesh: Thanks for clarifying. But then do not the constraints of joining with those derivatives equal already consume all the freedom of a cubic spline? It would seem you need, say, 4th-degree polynomials, to allow room for the curvature constraint on top of the smooth-joining constraints. Perhaps I am miscounting degrees of freedom...

Sep 22, 2010 at 0:00 comment added Joseph O'Rourke @Ganesh: Do you also want equal 1st derivatives at the joins? It would be a bit odd to insist on equal 2nd derivatives but not equal 1st...?
