r"""
The univariate B-Spline curve model class.
A univariate B-spline curve of order :math:`k` is a parametric curve defined
as a linear combination of B-spline basis functions and control points:
.. math::
S(x) = \sum_{i=1}^{n} B_{i,k}(x) C_i, \quad x \in [x_1, x_m]
where:
- :math:`C_i \in \mathbb{R}` are the control points. These fixed points
influence the shape of the curve but are not generally interpolated,
except at the boundaries under certain knot multiplicities.
- :math:`B_{i,k}(x)` are the B-spline basis functions of order :math:`k`,
i.e., piecewise polynomials of degree :math:`k-1` with support on the
interval :math:`[x_i, x_{i+k}]`.
- :math:`X = \{ x_1, x_2, \dots, x_m \}` is the non-decreasing knot vector.
If the first and last knots are repeated :math:`k` times, then the curve
interpolates the first and last control points.
.. note::
The curve is forced to be zero outside the interval defined by the
first and last knots.
:Example:
>>> from pina.model import Spline
>>> import torch
>>> knots1 = torch.tensor([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0])
>>> spline1 = Spline(order=3, knots=knots1, control_points=None)
>>> knots2 = {"n": 7, "min": 0.0, "max": 2.0, "mode": "auto"}
>>> spline2 = Spline(order=3, knots=knots2, control_points=None)
>>> knots3 = torch.tensor([0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 2.0, 2.0, 2.0])
>>> control_points3 = torch.tensor([0.0, 1.0, 3.0, 2.0])
>>> spline3 = Spline(order=3, knots=knots3, control_points=control_points3)

"""
Initialization of the :class:`Spline` class.
:param int order: The order of the spline. The corresponding basis
functions are polynomials of degree ``order - 1``. Default is 4.
:param knots: The knots of the spline. If a tensor is provided, knots
are set directly from the tensor. If a dictionary is provided, it
must contain the keys ``"n"``, ``"min"``, ``"max"``, and ``"mode"``.
Here, ``"n"`` specifies the number of knots, ``"min"`` and ``"max"``
define the interval, and ``"mode"`` selects the sampling strategy.
The supported modes are ``"uniform"``, where the knots are evenly
spaced over :math:`[min, max]`, and ``"auto"``, where knots are
constructed to ensure that the spline interpolates the first and
last control points. In this case, the number of knots is adjusted
if :math:`n < 2 * order`. If None is given, knots are initialized
automatically over :math:`[0, 1]` ensuring interpolation of the
first and last control points. Default is None.
:type knots: torch.Tensor | dict
:param torch.Tensor control_points: The control points of the spline.
If None, they are initialized as learnable parameters with an
initial value of zero. Default is None.
:raises AssertionError: If ``order`` is not a positive integer.
:raises ValueError: If ``knots`` is neither a torch.Tensor nor a
dictionary, when provided.
:raises ValueError: If ``control_points`` is not a torch.Tensor,
when provided.
:raises ValueError: If both ``knots`` and ``control_points`` are None.
:raises ValueError: If ``knots`` is not one-dimensional.
:raises ValueError: If ``control_points`` is not one-dimensional.
:raises ValueError: If the number of ``knots`` is not equal to the sum
of ``order`` and the number of ``control_points.``
:raises UserWarning: If the number of control points is lower than the
order, resulting in a degenerate spline.
