bsplin3val - 3d spline arbitrary derivative evaluation function

Calling Sequence

[dfp]=bsplin3val(xp,yp,zp,tl,der)

Parameters

• xp, yp, zp : real vectors or matrices of same size
• tl : tlist of type "splin3d", defining a 3d tensor spline (called s in the following)
• der : vector with 3 components [ox,oy,oz] defining which derivative of s to compute.
• dfp : vector or matrix of same format than xp , yp and zp , elementwise evaluation of the specified derivative of s on these points.

Description

While the function interp3d may compute only the spline s and its first derivatives, bsplin3val may compute any derivative of s . The derivative to compute is specified by the argument der=[ox,oy,oz] :

               ox   oy   oz
              d    d    d
   dfp(i) =  ---  ---  ---   s (xp(i),yp(i),zp(i))
               ox   oy   oz
             dx   dy   dz
         

So der=[0 0 0] corresponds to s, der=[1 0 0] to ds/dx, der=[0 1 0] to ds/dy, der=[1 1 0] to d2s/dxdy, etc...

For a point with coordinates (xp(i),yp(i),zp(i)) outside the grid, the function returns 0.

Examples

deff("v=f(x,y,z)","v=cos(x).*sin(y).*cos(z)");
deff("v=fx(x,y,z)","v=-sin(x).*sin(y).*cos(z)");
deff("v=fxy(x,y,z)","v=-sin(x).*cos(y).*cos(z)");
deff("v=fxyz(x,y,z)","v=sin(x).*cos(y).*sin(z)");
deff("v=fxxyz(x,y,z)","v=cos(x).*cos(y).*sin(z)");
n = 20;  // n x n x n  interpolation points
x = linspace(0,2*%pi,n); y=x; z=x; // interpolation grid
[X,Y,Z] = ndgrid(x,y,z); V = f(X,Y,Z);
tl = splin3d(x,y,z,V,[5 5 5]);

// compute f and some derivates on a point
// and compare with the spline interpolant 
xp = grand(1,1,"unf",0,2*%pi); 
yp = grand(1,1,"unf",0,2*%pi); 
zp = grand(1,1,"unf",0,2*%pi); 

f_e = f(xp,yp,zp)
f_i = bsplin3val(xp,yp,zp,tl,[0 0 0])

fx_e = fx(xp,yp,zp)
fx_i = bsplin3val(xp,yp,zp,tl,[1 0 0])

fxy_e = fxy(xp,yp,zp)
fxy_i = bsplin3val(xp,yp,zp,tl,[1 1 0])

fxyz_e = fxyz(xp,yp,zp)
fxyz_i = bsplin3val(xp,yp,zp,tl,[1 1 1])

fxxyz_e = fxxyz(xp,yp,zp)
fxxyz_i = bsplin3val(xp,yp,zp,tl,[2 1 1])
