RATIONAL CUBIC SPLINE ZIPPER FRACTAL FUNCTIONS AND THEIR SHAPE ASPECTS
摘要
This paper analyzes the convergence and shape-preserving properties of two interpolants: zipper rational cubic splines (RCSs) and rational cubic spline zipper fractal interpolation functions (RCS ZFIFs). A zipper RCS uses cubic/quadratic rational functions with shape parameters and a binary signature vector, while an RCS ZFIF is derived from a zipper RCS through fractal perturbation with appropriate base and scaling functions. We derive sufficient conditions for shape-preserving properties such as positivity, monotonicity, and boundary containment. Theoretical results are validated using examples of shaped interpolation data.
