On the history of multivariate polynomial interpolation

On the history of multivariate polynomial interpolation

Multivariate polynomial interpolation is a basic and fundamental subject in Approximation Theory and Numerical Analysis, which has received and continues receiving not deep but constant attention. In this short survey we review its development in the rst 75 years of this century, including a pioneering paper by Kronecker in the 19th century. x1. Introduction Interpolation, by polynomials or oth...

On multivariate polynomial interpolation

We provide a map Θ 7→ ΠΘ which associates each finite set Θ of points in C with a polynomial space ΠΘ from which interpolation to arbitrary data given at the points in Θ is possible and uniquely so. Among all polynomial spaces Q from which interpolation at Θ is uniquely possible, our ΠΘ is of smallest degree. It is also Dand scale-invariant. Our map is monotone, thus providing a Newton form for...

On the Error in Multivariate Polynomial Interpolation

Simple proofs are provided for two properties of a new multivariate polynomial interpolation scheme, due to Amos Ron and the author, and a formula for the interpolation error is derived and discussed.

On Error Formulas for Multivariate Polynomial Interpolation

In this paper we prove that the existence of an error formula of a form suggested in [2] leads to some very specific restrictions on an ideal basis that can be used in such formulas. As an application, we provide a negative answer to one version of the question posed by Carl de Boor (cf. [2]) regarding the existence of certain minimal error formulas for multivariate interpolation. §
