Functional data analysis is typically performed in two steps: first, functionally representing discrete observations, and then applying functional methods to the so-represented data. The initial choice of a functional representation may…

B-splines of order $k$ can be viewed as a mapping $N$ taking a $(k+1)$-tuple of increasing real numbers $a_0 < \cdots < a_k$ and giving as a result a certain piecewise polynomial function. Looking at this mapping $N$ as a whole, basic…
