compileGlobalConstraints

Compile global constraints into coefficient inequalities.

Developer documentation: this item describes internal implementation details.

Declaration

 [Aineq,bineq] = compileGlobalConstraints(globalConstraints,tKnot,K)

Parameters

• globalConstraints GlobalConstraint array
• tKnot per-dimension knot vectors
• K spline order per dimension

Returns

• Aineq inequality-constraint matrix
• bineq inequality-constraint right-hand side

Discussion

This helper turns global shape requests into coefficient-space inequalities of the form

\[A_{\mathrm{ineq}}\xi \le 0.\]

Positivity uses \(\xi_j \ge 0\), which is sufficient because the terminated B-spline basis is nonnegative. Monotonicity uses first differences of adjacent coefficients along a selected tensor dimension, via monotonicDifferenceMatrix.
