Approximation with Quasi-Splines

In the theory of splines, a function is approximated piece-wise by (usually cubic) polynomials. Quasi-splines is the natural extension of this, allowing us to use any useful class of functions adapted to the problem.
Approximation with Quasi-Splines is a detailed account of this highly useful technique in numerical analysis.

The book presents the requisite approximation theorems and optimization met...
