The standard references for spline theory are de Boor [1] and Schumaker [2]. The recursion this package evaluates is Cox's and de Boor's [6], [7]. Piegl and Tiller [3] treat the geometric-modelling side, which this package deliberately does not; Höllig [4] and Cottrell, Hughes and Bazilevs [5] treat the finite-element and isogeometric settings it is written for. Basis recombination as a device for imposing boundary conditions is discussed by Boyd [8].

Every identifier below was checked against Crossref. Two entries carry no DOI because none is registered for the edition cited: de Boor's revised edition of 2001 — the only Crossref record for that title is the 1978 first edition's eBook, whose landing page no longer resolves — and Boyd's Dover second edition, for which only the 1989 Springer first edition is registered.
