Another inter- esting question is the optimal knots placement when interpolating or approxi- mating certain functions using splines. In this work, a powerful methodology is presented for optimal knots placement when interpolating a curve, or a surface, using cubic or bicubic splines, respectively. For this, a Multi-Objective-Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) has been developed, in a way that ensures avoiding the large number of local minima existing in the problem of random knots place- ment. A new technique is presented to optimize both the number of knots and its optimal placement for cubic or bicubic interpolating splines. The perfor- mance of the proposed methodology has been evaluated using functions of one and two variables, respectively.}, organization = {Departamento de Matemática Aplicada de la Universidad de Granada.}, organization = {Grupo de Investigación de la Juntas de Andalucía FQM190-Matemática Aplicada}, publisher = {Elsevier}, keywords = {Interpolation}, keywords = {knots allocation}, keywords = {Cubic/Bicubic B-splines}, title = {Optimal knots allocation in the cubic and bicubic spline interpolation problems}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matcom.2018.11.002}, author = {Idais, Hassan and Yasin, Mohammed and Pasadas Fernández, Miguel and González Rodelas, Pedro}, }
