A bivariate polynomial interpolation problem for points lying on an algebraic curve is introduced. The geometric characterization introduced by Chung and Yao, which provides simple Lagrange formulae, is here analyzed for interpolation points lying on a line, a conic or a cubic.

The Pythagorean hodograph (PH) curves are polynomial parametric curves whose hodograph (derivative) components satisfy the Pythagorean condition. Lots of research works had been done with PH curves relevant topics due that PH curves own many remarkable properties, e.g., its offset curves have exact rational representations. In this paper, ball curves with rational polynomial offset are studied....

The semi-Lagrangian method using the hybrid-cubic-rational interpolation function [M. Ida, Comput. Fluid Dyn. J. 10 (2001) 159] is modified to a conservative method by incorporating the concept discussed in [R. Tanaka et al., Comput. Phys. Commun. 126 (2000) 232]. In the method due to Tanaka et al., not only a physical quantity but also its integrated quantity within a computational cell are us...
