B-splines $B_{q}$, $\Sc q > 1$, of quaternionic order $q$, for short quaternionic B-splines, are quaternion-valued piecewise M\"{u}ntz polynomials whose scalar parts interpolate the classical Schoenberg splines $B_{n}$, $n\in\N$, with…

Let $V$ be a vector space over a finite field $k$. We give a condition on a subset $A \subset V$ that allows for a local criterion for checking when a function $f:A \to k$ is a restriction of a polynomial function of degree $<m$ on $V$. In…
