Bspline polynomials #203
Description
Describe the feature
Bsplines can be used to solve a myriad of problems, a tool to create a "complete basis" given a subset of a domain.
Think of finite difference methods, but for one dimension.
Since vsl already has the submodule poly, I think it would be a great asset.
Use Case
Bsplines can be used to solve a set of problems, such as collocation problems, e.g. Poissons equations, or generalised Eigen value equations, e.g. Generalised Schrödinger equation.
I recently had this problem at Uni and was forced to rely on other languages to build the solution methods.
Proposed Solution
There exists loads of Bspline packages, e.g. for fortran, c and python, but a native V solution would most likely be on par for most plausible scenarios. I propose, that after the Uni semester is done, I provide this feature to vsl.poly, if no other would object.
