What is the second derivative of a B-spline?
A B-spline of degree $j$ is defined at knots $\vec k$ by the Cox-de Boor recursion formula
\begin{align}
B_{i,1}(x) &= \left\{
\begin{matrix}

What is the second derivative of a B-spline?
This document gives (with a corrected typo)
\begin{equation}
\frac{\text{d}^{(n)}B_{i,j}(x)}{\text{d}x^{(n)}}
