Abstract

s-dimensional generalized polynomials are linear combinations of functions forming an ECT-system on a compact interval with coefficients from Rs. ECT-spline curves in Rs are constructed by glueing together at interval end-points generalized polynomials generated from different local ECT-systems via connection matrices. If they are nonsingular, lower triangular and totally positive there is a basis of the space of 1-dimensional ECT-splines consisting of functions having minimal compact supports normalized to form a non-negative partition of unity. Its functions are called ECT-B-splines. One way (which is semiconstructional) to prove existence of such a basis is based upon zero bounds for ECT-splines. A constructional proof is based upon a definition of ECT-B-splines by generalized divided differences extending Schoenberg’s classical construction of ordinary polynomial B-splines. This fact eplains why ECT-B-splines share many properties with ordinary polynomial B-splines. In this paper we survey such constructional aspects of ECT-splines which in particular situations reduce to classical results.
