Interpolation for functions of one variable
The idea of interpolation is to estimate values of a function (of one or more variables) between given points (nodes, or locations), not necessarily equally spaced. The data might come from a known function that is very dicult or slow to evaluate except at certain points, or experimentally. A fundamental property of interpolation is that the interpolating curve (n = 1) or hypersurface (n 2), called the interpolant, goes through the given data points exactly. Hence interpolation is necessarily dierent from a process such as least squares regression.
Recall that a Taylor polynomial approximates a function using its value and values of a certain number of derivatives all at one point, while on the other hand a Lagrange polynomial approximates a function using its values at many dierent points. In between there are interpolating polynomials that approximate a function by matching its values and some derivative values at several points. These a called osculating polynomials. If we seek to match up only function values and the rst derivative values at given nodes we obtain Hermite polynomials.
