Abstract :
A C2 curve interpolation scheme for monotonic data has been developed. This scheme uses piecewise rational cubic functions. The two families of parameters, in the description of the rational interpolant, have been constrained to preserve the shape of the data. The monotone rational cubic spline scheme has a unique representation
