    Notes
    -----
    B-spline basis elements are defined via

    .. math::

        B_{i, 0}(x) = 1, \textrm{if $t_i \le x < t_{i+1}$, otherwise $0$,}

        B_{i, k}(x) = \frac{x - t_i}{t_{i+k} - t_i} B_{i, k-1}(x)
                 + \frac{t_{i+k+1} - x}{t_{i+k+1} - t_{i+1}} B_{i+1, k-1}(x)

    **Implementation details**

    - At least ``k+1`` coefficients are required for a spline of degree `k`,
      so that ``n >= k+1``. Additional coefficients, ``c[j]`` with
      ``j > n``, are ignored.

    - B-spline basis elements of degree `k` form a partition of unity on the
      *base interval*, ``t[k] <= x <= t[n]``.


    Examples
    --------

    Translating the recursive definition of B-splines into Python code, we have:

    >>> def B(x, k, i, t):
    ...    if k == 0:
    ...       return 1.0 if t[i] <= x < t[i+1] else 0.0
    ...    if t[i+k] == t[i]:
    ...       c1 = 0.0
    ...    else:
    ...       c1 = (x - t[i])/(t[i+k] - t[i]) * B(x, k-1, i, t)
    ...    if t[i+k+1] == t[i+1]:
    ...       c2 = 0.0
    ...    else:
    ...       c2 = (t[i+k+1] - x)/(t[i+k+1] - t[i+1]) * B(x, k-1, i+1, t)
    ...    return c1 + c2

    >>> def bspline(x, t, c, k):
    ...    n = len(t) - k - 1
    ...    assert (n >= k+1) and (len(c) >= n)
    ...    return sum(c[i] * B(x, k, i, t) for i in range(n))

    Note that this is an inefficient (if straightforward) way to
    evaluate B-splines --- this spline class does it in an equivalent,
    but much more efficient way.

    Here we construct a quadratic spline function on the base interval
    ``2 <= x <= 4`` and compare with the naive way of evaluating the spline:

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import BSpline
    >>> k = 2
    >>> t = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
    >>> c = [-1, 2, 0, -1]
    >>> spl = BSpline(t, c, k)
    >>> spl(2.5)
    array(1.375)
    >>> bspline(2.5, t, c, k)
    1.375

    Note that outside of the base interval results differ. This is because
    `BSpline` extrapolates the first and last polynomial pieces of B-spline
    functions active on the base interval.

    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> fig, ax = plt.subplots()
    >>> xx = np.linspace(1.5, 4.5, 50)
    >>> ax.plot(xx, [bspline(x, t, c ,k) for x in xx], 'r-', lw=3, label='naive')

        Accepts only ``CubicSpline`` instances for now.

        The algorithm follows from differentiation
        the Marsden's identity [1]: each of coefficients of spline
        interpolation function in the B-spline basis is computed as follows:

        .. math::

            c_j = \sum_{m=0}^{k} \frac{(k-m)!}{k!}
                       c_{m,i} (-1)^{k-m} D^m p_{j,k}(x_i)

        :math:`c_{m, i}` - a coefficient of CubicSpline,
        :math:`D^m p_{j, k}(x_i)` - an m-th defivative of a dual polynomial
        in :math:`x_i`.

        ``k`` always equals 3 for now.

        First ``n - 2`` coefficients are computed in :math:`x_i = x_j`, e.g.

        .. math::

            c_1 = \sum_{m=0}^{k} \frac{(k-1)!}{k!} c_{m,1} D^m p_{j,3}(x_1)

        Last ``nod + 2`` coefficients are computed in ``x[-2]``,
        ``nod`` - number of derivatives at the ends.

        For example, consider :math:`x = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4]`,
        :math:`y = [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]` and bc_type = ``natural``

        The coefficients of CubicSpline in the power basis:

        :math:`[[0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [0, 0, 0, 0, 0],
        [0, 0, 0, 0, 0], [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]]`

        The knot vector: :math:`t = [0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 4, 4]`

        In this case

        .. math::

            c_j = \frac{0!}{k!} c_{3, i} k! = c_{3, i} = 1,~j = 0, ..., 6

def _woodbury_algorithm(A, ur, ll, b, k):
    '''
    Solve a cyclic banded linear system with upper right
    and lower blocks of size ``(k-1) / 2`` using
    the Woodbury formula

    Parameters
    ----------
    A : 2-D array, shape(k, n)
        Matrix of diagonals of original matrix (see
        ``solve_banded`` documentation).
    ur : 2-D array, shape(bs, bs)
        Upper right block matrix.
    ll : 2-D array, shape(bs, bs)
        Lower left block matrix.
    b : 1-D array, shape(n,)
        Vector of constant terms of the system of linear equations.
    k : int
        B-spline degree.

    Returns
    -------
    c : 1-D array, shape(n,)
        Solution of the original system of linear equations.

    Notes
    -----
    This algorithm works only for systems with banded matrix A plus
    a correction term U @ V.T, where the matrix U @ V.T gives upper right
    and lower left block of A
    The system is solved with the following steps:
        1.  New systems of linear equations are constructed:
            A @ z_i = u_i,
            u_i - column vector of U,
            i = 1, ..., k - 1
        2.  Matrix Z is formed from vectors z_i:
            Z = [ z_1 | z_2 | ... | z_{k - 1} ]
        3.  Matrix H = (1 + V.T @ Z)^{-1}
        4.  The system A' @ y = b is solved
        5.  x = y - Z @ (H @ V.T @ y)
    Also, ``n`` should be greater than ``k``, otherwise corner block
    elements will intersect with diagonals.

    Examples
    --------
    Consider the case of n = 8, k = 5 (size of blocks - 2 x 2).

    Returns

    Notes
    -----
    The original system is formed by ``n + k - 1`` equations where the first
    ``k - 1`` of them stand for the ``k - 1`` derivatives continuity on the
    edges while the other equations correspond to an interpolating case
    (matching all the input points). Due to a special form of knot vector, it
    can be proved that in the original system the first and last ``k``
    coefficients of a spline function are the same, respectively. It follows
    from the fact that all ``k - 1`` derivatives are equal term by term at ends
    and that the matrix of the original system of linear equations is
    non-degenerate. So, we can reduce the number of equations to ``n - 1``
    (first ``k - 1`` equations could be reduced). Another trick of this
    implementation is cyclic shift of values of B-splines due to equality of
    ``k`` unknown coefficients. With this we can receive matrix of the system
    with upper right and lower left blocks, and ``k`` diagonals.  It allows
    to use Woodbury formula to optimize the computations.

    """Compute the (coefficients of) interpolating B-spline.

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like, shape (n,)
        Abscissas.
    y : array_like, shape (n, ...)
        Ordinates.
    k : int, optional
        B-spline degree. Default is cubic, ``k = 3``.
    t : array_like, shape (nt + k + 1,), optional.
        Knots.
        The number of knots needs to agree with the number of data points and
        the number of derivatives at the edges. Specifically, ``nt - n`` must
        equal ``len(deriv_l) + len(deriv_r)``.
    bc_type : 2-tuple or None
        Boundary conditions.
        Default is None, which means choosing the boundary conditions
        automatically. Otherwise, it must be a length-two tuple where the first
        element (``deriv_l``) sets the boundary conditions at ``x[0]`` and
        the second element (``deriv_r``) sets the boundary conditions at
        ``x[-1]``. Each of these must be an iterable of pairs
        ``(order, value)`` which gives the values of derivatives of specified
        orders at the given edge of the interpolation interval.
        Alternatively, the following string aliases are recognized:

        * ``"clamped"``: The first derivatives at the ends are zero. This is
           equivalent to ``bc_type=([(1, 0.0)], [(1, 0.0)])``.
        * ``"natural"``: The second derivatives at ends are zero. This is
          equivalent to ``bc_type=([(2, 0.0)], [(2, 0.0)])``.
        * ``"not-a-knot"`` (default): The first and second segments are the
          same polynomial. This is equivalent to having ``bc_type=None``.
        * ``"periodic"``: The values and the first ``k-1`` derivatives at the
          ends are equivalent.

    axis : int, optional
        Interpolation axis. Default is 0.
    check_finite : bool, optional
        Whether to check that the input arrays contain only finite numbers.
        Disabling may give a performance gain, but may result in problems
        (crashes, non-termination) if the inputs do contain infinities or NaNs.
        Default is True.

    Returns
    -------
    b : a BSpline object of the degree ``k`` and with knots ``t``.

    BSpline : base class representing the B-spline objects

    splrep : a wrapper over FITPACK spline fitting routines

    Examples
    --------

    Use cubic interpolation on Chebyshev nodes:

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> def cheb_nodes(N):
    ...     jj = 2.*np.arange(N) + 1
    ...     x = np.cos(np.pi * jj / 2 / N)[::-1]
    ...     return x

    >>> x = cheb_nodes(20)
    >>> y = np.sqrt(1 - x**2)

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import BSpline, make_interp_spline
    >>> b = make_interp_spline(x, y)
    >>> np.allclose(b(x), y)
    True

    Note that the default is a cubic spline with a not-a-knot boundary condition

    >>> b.k
    3

    Here we use a 'natural' spline, with zero 2nd derivatives at edges:

    >>> l, r = [(2, 0.0)], [(2, 0.0)]
    >>> b_n = make_interp_spline(x, y, bc_type=(l, r))  # or, bc_type="natural"
    >>> np.allclose(b_n(x), y)
    True
    >>> x0, x1 = x[0], x[-1]
    >>> np.allclose([b_n(x0, 2), b_n(x1, 2)], [0, 0])
    True

    Interpolation of parametric curves is also supported. As an example, we
    compute a discretization of a snail curve in polar coordinates

    >>> phi = np.linspace(0, 2.*np.pi, 40)
    >>> r = 0.3 + np.cos(phi)
    >>> x, y = r*np.cos(phi), r*np.sin(phi)  # convert to Cartesian coordinates

    Build an interpolating curve, parameterizing it by the angle

    >>> spl = make_interp_spline(phi, np.c_[x, y])

    Evaluate the interpolant on a finer grid (note that we transpose the result
    to unpack it into a pair of x- and y-arrays)

    >>> phi_new = np.linspace(0, 2.*np.pi, 100)
    >>> x_new, y_new = spl(phi_new).T

    Plot the result

    >>> plt.plot(x, y, 'o')
    >>> plt.plot(x_new, y_new, '-')
    >>> plt.show()

    Build a B-spline curve with 2 dimensional y

    >>> x = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 10)
    >>> y = np.array([np.sin(x), np.cos(x)])

    Periodic condition is satisfied because y coordinates of points on the ends
    are equivalent

    >>> ax = plt.axes(projection='3d')
    >>> xx = np.linspace(0, 2*np.pi, 100)
    >>> bspl = make_interp_spline(x, y, k=5, bc_type='periodic', axis=1)
    >>> ax.plot3D(xx, *bspl(xx))
    >>> ax.scatter3D(x, *y, color='red')
    >>> plt.show()

    r"""Compute the (coefficients of) an LSQ (Least SQuared) based
    fitting B-spline.

    The result is a linear combination

    .. math::

    .. math::

        \sum_{j} \left( w_j \times (S(x_j) - y_j) \right)^2

    Parameters
    ----------
    x : array_like, shape (m,)
        Abscissas.
    y : array_like, shape (m, ...)
        Ordinates.
    t : array_like, shape (n + k + 1,).
        Knots.
        Knots and data points must satisfy Schoenberg-Whitney conditions.
    k : int, optional
        B-spline degree. Default is cubic, ``k = 3``.
    w : array_like, shape (m,), optional
        Weights for spline fitting. Must be positive. If ``None``,
        then weights are all equal.
        Default is ``None``.
    axis : int, optional
        Interpolation axis. Default is zero.
    check_finite : bool, optional
        Whether to check that the input arrays contain only finite numbers.
        Disabling may give a performance gain, but may result in problems
        (crashes, non-termination) if the inputs do contain infinities or NaNs.
        Default is True.

    Returns
    -------
    b : a BSpline object of the degree ``k`` with knots ``t``.

    See Also
    --------
    BSpline : base class representing the B-spline objects
    make_interp_spline : a similar factory function for interpolating splines
    LSQUnivariateSpline : a FITPACK-based spline fitting routine
    splrep : a FITPACK-based fitting routine

    Notes
    -----
    The number of data points must be larger than the spline degree ``k``.

    Knots ``t`` must satisfy the Schoenberg-Whitney conditions,
    i.e., there must be a subset of data points ``x[j]`` such that
    ``t[j] < x[j] < t[j+k+1]``, for ``j=0, 1,...,n-k-2``.

    Examples
    --------
    Generate some noisy data:

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> rng = np.random.default_rng()
    >>> x = np.linspace(-3, 3, 50)
    >>> y = np.exp(-x**2) + 0.1 * rng.standard_normal(50)

    Now fit a smoothing cubic spline with a pre-defined internal knots.
    Here we make the knot vector (k+1)-regular by adding boundary knots:

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import make_lsq_spline, BSpline
    >>> t = [-1, 0, 1]
    >>> k = 3
    >>> t = np.r_[(x[0],)*(k+1),
    ...           t,
    ...           (x[-1],)*(k+1)]
    >>> spl = make_lsq_spline(x, y, t, k)

    For comparison, we also construct an interpolating spline for the same
    set of data:

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import make_interp_spline
    >>> spl_i = make_interp_spline(x, y)

    Plot both:

    >>> xs = np.linspace(-3, 3, 100)
    >>> plt.plot(x, y, 'ro', ms=5)
    >>> plt.plot(xs, spl(xs), 'g-', lw=3, label='LSQ spline')
    >>> plt.plot(xs, spl_i(xs), 'b-', lw=3, alpha=0.7, label='interp spline')
    >>> plt.legend(loc='best')
    >>> plt.show()

    **NaN handling**: If the input arrays contain ``nan`` values, the result is
    not useful since the underlying spline fitting routines cannot deal with
    ``nan``. A workaround is to use zero weights for not-a-number data points:

    >>> y[8] = np.nan
    >>> w = np.isnan(y)
    >>> y[w] = 0.
    >>> tck = make_lsq_spline(x, y, t, w=~w)

    Notice the need to replace a ``nan`` by a numerical value (precise value
    does not matter as long as the corresponding weight is zero.)

    ``lam`` to control the tradeoff between the amount of smoothness of the
    curve and its proximity to the data. In case ``lam`` is None, using the
    GCV criteria [1] to find it.

    A smoothing spline is found as a solution to the regularized weighted

    If ``lam`` is None, we use the GCV criteria to find an optimal
    regularization parameter, otherwise we solve the regularized weighted
    linear regression problem with given parameter. The parameter controls
    the tradeoff in the following way: the larger the parameter becomes, the

    lam : float, (:math:`\lambda \geq 0`), optional
        Regularization parameter. If ``lam`` is None, then it is found from

    in SciPy source code because of the license issues. The details of the
    reimplementation are discussed here (available only in Russian) [4].

    If the vector of weights ``w`` is None, we assume that all the points are
    equal in terms of weights, and vector of weights is vector of ones.

    Note that in weighted residual sum of squares, weights are not squared:
    :math:`\sum\limits_{i=1}^n w_i\lvert y_i - f(x_i) \rvert^2` while in
    ``splrep`` the sum is built from the squared weights.

    In cases when the initial problem is ill-posed (for example, the product
    :math:`X^T W X` where :math:`X` is a design matrix is not a positive
    defined matrix) a ValueError is raised.

    Examples
    --------
    Generate some noisy data

    >>> import numpy as np
    >>> np.random.seed(1234)
    >>> n = 200
    >>> def func(x):
    ...    return x**3 + x**2 * np.sin(4 * x)
    >>> x = np.sort(np.random.random_sample(n) * 4 - 2)
    >>> y = func(x) + np.random.normal(scale=1.5, size=n)

    Make a smoothing spline function

    >>> from scipy.interpolate import make_smoothing_spline
    >>> spl = make_smoothing_spline(x, y)

    Plot both

    >>> import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
    >>> grid = np.linspace(x[0], x[-1], 400)
    >>> plt.plot(grid, spl(grid), label='Spline')
    >>> plt.plot(grid, func(grid), label='Original function')
    >>> plt.scatter(x, y, marker='.')
    >>> plt.legend(loc='best')
    >>> plt.show()
