I have got this code from Mathematica website, but my problem is I’m not able to use these two functions which are bold and italic namely, “tridiagonale”, & , “recurrence”, in Mathematica 10, as this code is written in the earlier version.

Can you help me out plz?

I imagine that the code for tridiagonal and recurrence are defined somewhere on the website that you mention. What is its URL?

http://mathworld.wolfram.com/notebooks/NumericalMath/CubicSpline.nb

this is the url
but i could not find any relative material to my question? could you please help me out

I was confused in your post by your use of tridiagonal and recurrence as lowercase parameters. I do not see anything related to recurrance in the notebook that you linked to. However you will find out how to replicate the functionality contained in LinearAlgebraTridiagonal by reading this:

Thanks A lot :wink:
