The data under consideration include multiscale data, that is, data with abrupt changes in spacing and magnitude. A simplified dual-to-primal transformation for a geometric programming model for cubic L1 splines is developed. This transformation allows one to establish in a transparent manner relationships between the shape-preserving properties of a cubic L1 spline and the solution of the dual geometric-programming problem. Properties that have often been associated with shape preservation in the past include preservation of linearity and convexity/concavity. Under various circumstances, cubic L1 splines preserve linearity and convexity/concavity of data. When four consecutive data points lie on a straight line, the cubic L1 spline is linear in the interval between the second and third data points. Cubic L1 splines of convex/concave data preserve convexity/concavity if the first divided differences of the data do not increase/decrease too rapidly. When cubic L1 splines do not preserve convexity/concavity, they still do not cross the piecewise linear interpolant and, therefore, they do not have extraneous oscillation.}, number={2}, journal={JOURNAL OF COMPUTATIONAL AND APPLIED MATHEMATICS}, author={Cheng, H and Fang, SC and Lavery, JE}, year={2005}, month={Feb}, pages={361–382} } @article{cheng_fang_lavery_2004, title={An efficient algorithm for generating univariate cubic L-1 splines}, volume={29}, ISSN={["0926-6003"]}, DOI={10.1023/B:COAP.0000042031.03626.1b}, number={2}, journal={COMPUTATIONAL OPTIMIZATION AND APPLICATIONS}, author={Cheng, H and Fang, SC and Lavery, JE}, year={2004}, month={Nov}, pages={219–253} } @article{cheng_fang_lavery_2002, title={Univariate cubic L-1 splines - A geometric programming approach}, volume={56}, ISSN={["1432-2994"]}, DOI={10.1007/s001860200216}, number={2}, journal={MATHEMATICAL METHODS OF OPERATIONS RESEARCH}, author={Cheng, H and Fang, SC and Lavery, JE}, year={2002}, month={Nov}, pages={197–229} }
