Abstract
The theory of splines for approximation is developed. The theory is presented in a general form applicable to other than just piecewise polynomial approximation. The relationship of spline approximation and finite elements is shown with an example given to demonstrate the procedure as applied to the solution of Poisson´s equation. The use of spline functions in the method of moments is also discussed. The results of this use is then presented for the solution of a center-fed wire antenna.
