Synopsis

We consider classes of functions satisfying certain simple criteria of sign and smoothness and a decomposition property. It is known that these properties are possessed by Chebysheffian B-splines and it is shown here that they are also possessed by certain trigonometric B-splines. For such a class of functions, we derive a variation-diminishing property and analyse interpolation both on a finite set of nodes and on an infinite, periodically spaced set of nodes. The results are also applied to interpolation by complex polynomial splines on the circle.
