On the comparison of interpolation methods
1Seismological Obs., Bergen Univ.
Abstract:
A study of different cubic interpolation kernels in the frequency domain is presented that reveals novel aspects of both cubic spline and cubic convolution interpolation. The kernel used in cubic convolution is of finite support and depends on a parameter to be chosen at will. At the Nyquist frequency, the spectrum attains a value that is independent of this parameter. Exactly the same value is found at the Nyquist frequency in the cubic spline interpolation. If a strictly positive interpolation kernel is of importance in applications, cubic convolution with the parameter value zero is recommended.

Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

In contrast, nonlinear systems do not inherently possess these properties. However, for small deviations around an operating point, a nonlinear system can often be approximated as linear.
