PIECEWISE POLYNOMIAL INTERPOLATION
homepage.divms.uiowa.edu › ~atkinson › ftpPIECEWISE POLYNOMIAL INTERPOLATION Recall the examples of higher degree polynomial in-terpolation of the function f(x)= ³ 1+x2 ´−1 on [−5,5]. The interpolants Pn(x) oscillated a great deal, whereas the function f(x) was nonoscillatory. To obtain interpolants that are better behaved, we look at other forms of interpolating functions ...
Interpolation - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterpolationThis table gives some values of an unknown function . Interpolation provides a means of estimating the function at intermediate points, such as . We describe some methods of interpolation, differing in such properties as: accuracy, cost, number of data points needed, and smoothness of the resulting

This can pose a problem if we are to produce an accurate interpolant across a wide
