Recently, considerable interest has been shown in the connection between smoothing splines and a particular class of stochastic processes. Here the connection with an equivalent class of least squares problems is used to develop algorithms, and properties of the solution are examined. We give an estimate of the condition number of the solution process and compare this with an estimate for the condition number of the Reinsch algorithm in its conventional implementation.
