1  Purpose

E02JEF calculates a vector of values of a spline computed by E02JDF.

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE E02JEF ( NEVALV, XEVALV, YEVALV, COEFS, FEVALV, IOPTS, OPTS, IFAIL)
INTEGER  NEVALV, IOPTS(*), IFAIL
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  XEVALV(NEVALV), YEVALV(NEVALV), COEFS(*), FEVALV(NEVALV), OPTS(*)

3  Description

E02JEF calculates values at prescribed points (xi,yi), for i=1,2,,n, of a bivariate spline computed by E02JDF. It is derived from the TSFIT package of O. Davydov and F. Zeilfelder.

5  Parameters

1:     NEVALV – INTEGERInput
On entry: n, the number of values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: NEVALV1.
2:     XEVALV(NEVALV) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the xi values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, XEVALVi must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by E02JDF.
3:     YEVALV(NEVALV) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the yi values at which the spline is to be evaluated.
Constraint: for all i, YEVALVi must lie inside, or on the boundary of, the spline's bounding box as determined by E02JDF.
4:     COEFS(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayInput
On entry: the computed spline coefficients COEFS as output from E02JDF.
5:     FEVALV(NEVALV) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayOutput
On exit: if IFAIL=0 on exit FEVALVi contains the computed spline value at xi,yi.
6:     IOPTS(*) – INTEGER arrayCommunication Array
On entry: must be the same array IOPTS supplied in a previous call to E02JDF. The contents of the array must not have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to E02ZKF, between calls to E02JDF and E02JEF.
7:     OPTS(*) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
On entry: must be the same array OPTS supplied in a previous call to E02JDF. The contents of the array must not have been modified either directly or indirectly, by a call to E02ZKF, between calls to E02JDF and E02JEF.
8:     IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
On entry: IFAIL must be set to 0, -1​ or ​1. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1​ or ​1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1​ or ​1 is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit: IFAIL=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry IFAIL=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
IFAIL=2
On entry, NEVALV=value.
Constraint: NEVALV1.
IFAIL=9
Option arrays are not initialized or are corrupted.
IFAIL=10
The fitting routine has not been called, or the array of coefficients has been corrupted.
IFAIL=13
On entry, XEVALVvalue=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valueXEVALVivalue for all i.
IFAIL=14
On entry, YEVALVvalue=value was outside the bounding box.
Constraint: valueYEVALVivalue for all i.
IFAIL=-999
Dynamic memory allocation failed.

7  Accuracy

E02JEF uses the de Casteljau algorithm and thus is numerically stable. See Farin and Hansford (2000) for details.

8  Further Comments

A real array of length O1 is dynamically allocated by each invocation of E02JEF.

9  Example

See Section 9 in E02JDF.
