The partially blended rational bicubic spline has 12 parameters in the descriptions where 8 of them are free parameters. The sufficient conditions for the positivity are derived on every four boundary curves network on the rectangular patch. Numerical comparison with existing schemes also has been done in detail. Based on Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), our partially blended rational bicubic spline is on a par with the established methods. © 2015 Samsul Ariffin Abdul Karim et al. publisher: Hindawi Limited date: 2015 type: Article type: PeerReviewed identifier: Abdul Karim, S.A. and Voon Pang, K. and Saaban, A.
