//! Constrained splines with monotonicity and convexity constraints
//!
//! This module provides spline interpolation methods with explicit constraints
//! on properties such as monotonicity (increasing or decreasing) and convexity
//! (convex or concave). These constraints are enforced through an optimization
//! approach that preserves these properties while still providing a smooth curve.
//!
//! Unlike the monotonic interpolation methods in the interp1d module, which use
//! specific basis functions or filtering, these methods use a more general
//! optimization-based approach to enforce constraints anywhere on the spline.
//!
//! Possible constraints include:
//! - Monotonicity (strictly increasing or decreasing)
//! - Convexity (convex or concave)
//! - Positivity
//! - Range constraints (min/max values)
//! - Fixed values at specific points
//! - Fixed derivatives at specific points
//!
//! These methods are particularly useful for:
//! - Economic modeling (utility functions, demand curves)
//! - Physical models with known constraints
//! - Cumulative distribution functions
//! - Probability density functions
//! - Yield curves and term structures
