Abstract

This paper sets a theoretical foundation for applications of fractal interpolation functions (FIFs). We construct rational cubic spline FIFs (RCSFIFs) with a quadratic denominator involving two shape parameters. The elements of the iterated function system (IFS) in each subinterval are identified befittingly so that the graph of the resulting C1-RCSFIF lies within a prescribed rectangle. These parameters include, in particular, conditions on the positivity of the C1-RCSFIF. The problem of visualization of constrained data is also addressed when the data is lying above a straight line, the proposed fractal curve is required to lie on the same side of the line. We illustrate our interpolation scheme with some numerical examples.
