In this article, we present a method to obtain a C 1 ‐surface, defined on a bounded polygonal domain Ω, which interpolates a specific dataset and minimizes a certain “energy functional.” The minimization space chosen is the one associated to the Powell–Sabin finite element, whose elements are C 1 ‐quadratic splines. We develop a general theoretical framework for that, and we consider two main applications of the theory. For both of them, we give convergence results, and we present some numerical and graphical examples. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Numer Methods Partial Differential Eq 31: 798–821, 2015
