Do higher-order splines with Lipschitz derivatives exist on finite sets?
Fix $k\in \mathbb{N}^+$ and let $E=(e_i,f_i)_{i=1}^I\subset \mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^m$ be a non-empty finite set with $e_i\neq e_j$ whenever $i\neq j$.
If $n=m=1$ then it's easy to see that:

Hardness results for approximating Hölder continuous functions
Let $f \in \mathrm{Lip}^{L,\alpha}[a,b]$, and let $f_{h} \in C^{L}$ be a spline which interpolates $f$ at $a + ih$. Then standard theorems (Daubechies & Lagarias, SIAM J. Math. Anal. 22 (1991) ...

The $L_\infty$ norm of the derivative of the $L_2$ spline projector
A. Shadrin (Acta Mathematica, 2001) shows that the $L_\infty$ norm of the $L_2$ projector $P_\Delta$ onto the spline space $S_k(\Delta$) is bounded independently of the knot-sequence. I.e. for a ...

Error bounds for spline interpolation. Hall and Meyer's conjecture
Hall & Meyer, 1976, J. Approx. Theory, show for $f \in C^4[a,b]$ and a mesh $a = x_1, \ldots x_n = b$ with $h = \max x_{j+1} - x_j$, for $\pi f$ a cubic spline interpolant over the mesh for some ...

How to optimally choose points for multivariable Hermite interpolation?
I have a multi-variate, continuous function $f$ from $R^n$ to $R$, which I can query for its output for any input.
I would like to create interpolation polynomial for it.
The computation of $f$ is ...

Rational interpolation: Error bounds for coefficients
The following question was asked on MSE, but might be more suitable here.
Assume there is a rational function
$$
f:x\mapsto \frac{\sum_{i=0}^m{a_ix^i}}{1+\sum_{j=1}^n{b_jx^j}}
$$
of type $(m,n)$ with ...

Error bounds for Sobolev space norm approximation on a finite grid
Suppose that $f : [0, 1] \to \mathbb{R}$ is an element of the order-$k$ Sobolev space,
\begin{multline}
f^{(k - 1)}~\text{is absolutely continuous},\quad \|f\|_{W^k}^2 := \int_0^1 f^{(k)}(x)^2 \, dx &...

Mismatching degrees and # derivatives in polynomial interpolation error formula
It is well known that if $f : [a,b] \to \mathbb{R}$ is $n+1$ times differentiable and $p(x)$ denotes the polynomial interpolant to $f(x)$ in the $n+1$ points $\bigl(x_k \in [a,b]\bigr)_{k = 1}^{n+1}$, ...

On different norms of the interpolating operator
Let $[a,b]$ be an interval in real line . Given any function $f:[a,b]\to \mathbb R$ and set $A \subseteq [a,b]$ of size $n+1$, there exists a unique polynomial $p_{f,A,n}(x)$ of degree $n$ such that $...

Interpolating points and orthogonal polynomials on varying intervals
In general, a Lebesgue-Stieltjes integral, $\int (\cdot) \, d \alpha(x)$, that defines an inner product on the space of polynomials establishes a notion of orthogonality.
Suppose we have a sequence of ...

Can we improve the error bounds for spline interpolation if the interpolated function is smooth?
Let me first state the original problem I want to solve:
Given a closed curve $C:[a,b]\to\mathbb R^2$ that is smooth ($C^\infty$), a partition in the parameter space $a=t_0<t_1<\cdots<t_n=b$,...
