Creating A Multidimensional Spline
Given the constraint from the definition formula we can conclude that the algorithm doesn't work for any sets of data. If we plan to use this algorithm for random points in a multidimensional space we need to find a solution to give as input to the algorithm sets of data where these constraints are met. A solution for this is to introduce a parameter so that the input data would be represented as single-valued functions depending on that parameter; after this the smoothing will be performed for each function. In a bidimensional space a solution would be to parametrize and so that they would become and where . A convenient solution for is the cumulating distance where .
A more detailed analysis on parametrization is done by E.T.Y Lee.

“If the child knows the rewards and punishments in advance and knows that his parents will stick to them, the parents can actually empathize with the child’s plight while, at the same time, creating a firm sense of structure.... Your child will sense your resolve and your empathywhether you do this with words or just a sense of warmth.”
—Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
“No one is ahead of his time, it is only that the particular variety of creating his time is the one that his contemporaries who are also creating their own time refuse to accept.... For a very long time everybody refuses and then almost without a pause almost everybody accepts. In the history of the refused in the arts and literature the rapidity of the change is always startling.”
—Gertrude Stein (1874–1946)
