Key Points

To establish the mathematical foundations of spline interpolation and variational methods for approximating single and multivariable functions.
Formulated theoretical frameworks for Lagrangian and Hermitian interpolation alongside generalizations of polynomial splines.
Extended approximation techniques to multivariable functions using variational principles.
Analyzed numerical implementations via the finite element method and the method of collocation.
Demonstrated that polynomial splines provide stable, continuous piecewise approximations for complex multivariable surfaces.
Showed that integrating variational formulations with finite element and collocation methods yields systematic frameworks for solving boundary value problems.
