Title Proving the Lane-Riesenfeld Algorithm

Abstract:   The Lane-Riesenfeld algorithm inserts knots half-way between existing knots. It's advantages are that it inserts a group of knots at once, and it is simple to program. In this talk, I present some work of Ron Goldman, who gave a blossoming proof of correctness for this algorithm.
