Interpolation On The Unit Interval Without Exact Derivatives
Given p-1, p0, p1 and p2 as the values that the function should take on at -1, 0, 1 and 2, we can use centered differences instead of exact derivatives. Thus the Catmull–Rom spline is
for, where the left-hand vector is independent of the p.
This writing is relevant for tricubic interpolation, where one optimization requires you to compute CINTx sixteen times with the same x and different p.

Famous quotes containing the words unit, interval and/or exact:
“During the Suffragette revolt of 1913 I ... [urged] that what was needed was not the vote, but a constitutional amendment enacting that all representative bodies shall consist of women and men in equal numbers, whether elected or nominated or coopted or registered or picked up in the street like a coroner’s jury. In the case of elected bodies the only way of effecting this is by the Coupled Vote. The representative unit must not be a man or a woman but a man and a woman.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I was interested to see how a pioneer lived on this side of the country. His life is in some respects more adventurous than that of his brother in the West; for he contends with winter as well as the wilderness, and there is a greater interval of time at least between him and the army which is to follow. Here immigration is a tide which may ebb when it has swept away the pines; there it is not a tide, but an inundation, and roads and other improvements come steadily rushing after.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
