Abstract
In this work, a general class of interpolation and smoothing natural exponential splines with respect to fourth order differential operators with two real parameters is considered. Some sufficient conditions for the associated matrix \(\textbf{R}\) to be a diagonally dominant matrix are given. Based on these, fast algorithms for computing the coefficients of this general class of exponential splines are developed. The obtained splines have \(C^2\) continuity and are the minimum solution of the combination of interpolation and smoothing energy integral. The performances of the resulting splines in financial data from the S &P500 index are given. Numerical experiments show that the resulting splines have more freedom to adjust the shape and control the energy of the curves. Cross-validation and generalized cross-validation for determining an appropriate smoothing parameter are also given.
