c  given the set of data points (x(i),y(i)) and the set of positive
c  numbers w(i),i=1,2,...,m, subroutine cocosp determines the weighted
c  least-squares cubic spline s(x) with given knots t(j),j=1,2,...,n
c  which satisfies the following concavity/convexity conditions
c      s''(t(j+3))*e(j) <= 0, j=1,2,...n-6
c  the fit is given in the b-spline representation( b-spline coef-
c  ficients c(j),j=1,2,...n-4) and can be evaluated by means of
c  subroutine splev.

c  maxbin: integer. on entry maxbin must contain an over-estimate of the
c          number of knots where s(x) will have a zero second derivative
c          maxbin >=1. in most practical situation maxbin = 10 will be

c          this array will contain the spline values s(x(i)),i=1,...,m
c   bind : logical array of dimension at least (n). on succesful exit
c          this array will indicate the knots where s''(x)=0, i.e.
c                s''(t(j+3)) .eq. 0 if  bind(j) = .true.
c                s''(t(j+3)) .ne. 0 if  bind(j) = .false., j=1,2,...,n-6

c          the array wrk as declared in the calling (sub)program.lwrk
c          must not be too small (see wrk). unchanged on exit.
c   iwrk : integer array of dimension at least (maxtr*4+2*(maxbin+1))
c          used as working space.
c   kwrk : integer. on entry,kwrk must specify the actual dimension of
c          the array iwrk as declared in the calling (sub)program. kwrk
c          must not be too small (see iwrk). unchanged on exit.
c   ier   : integer. error flag
c      ier=0 : succesful exit.
c      ier>0 : abnormal termination: no approximation is returned
c        ier=1  : the number of knots where s''(x)=0 exceeds maxbin.
c                 probably causes : maxbin too small.
c        ier=2  : the number of records in the tree structure exceeds
c                 maxtr.
c                 probably causes : maxtr too small.
c        ier=3  : the algoritm finds no solution to the posed quadratic
c                 programming problem.
c                 probably causes : rounding errors.
c        ier=10 : on entry, the input data are controlled on validity.
c                 the following restrictions must be satisfied
c                   m>3, maxtr>=1, maxbin>=1, 8<=n<=m+4,w(i) > 0,
c                   x(1)<x(2)<...<x(m), t(1)<=t(2)<=t(3)<=t(4)<=x(1),

c                   lwrk>=m*4+n*7+maxbin*(maxbin+n+1),
c                   the schoenberg-whitney conditions, i.e. there must
c                   be a subset of data points xx(j) such that
c                     t(j) < xx(j) < t(j+4), j=1,2,...,n-4
c                 if one of these restrictions is found to be violated
