Interpolation
Chapter 18
• Estimation of intermediate values between precise
data points. The most common method is:
f ( x)  a0  a1x  a2 x2   an xn
• Although there is one and only one nth-order
polynomial that fits n+1 points, there are a variety of
mathematical formats in which this polynomial can be
expressed:
– The Newton polynomial
– The Lagrange polynomial

Quadratic Interpolation/
• If three data points are available, the estimate is
improved by introducing some curvature into the line
connecting the points.
f 2 ( x)  b0  b1 ( x  x0 )  b2 ( x  x0 )(x  x1 )
• A simple procedure can be used to determine the
values of the coefficients.
x  x0
b0  f ( x0 )
x  x1
f ( x1 )  f ( x0 )
b1 

Errors of Newton’s Interpolating Polynomials/
• Structure of interpolating polynomials is similar to the Taylor
series expansion in the sense that finite divided differences are
added sequentially to capture the higher order derivatives.
• For an nth-order interpolating polynomial, an analogous
relationship for the error is:
f ( n1) ( )
Rn 
( x  x0 )(x  x1 )( x  xn )
(n  1)!
 Is somewhere
containing the unknown
and he data
• For non differentiable functions, if an additional point f(xn+1) is
available, an alternative formula can be used that does not
require prior knowledge of the function:
Rn  f [ xn1, xn , xn1 ,, x0 ](x  x0 )(x  x1 )( x  xn )

Lagrange Interpolating Polynomials
• The Lagrange interpolating polynomial is simply a
reformulation of the Newton’s polynomial that
avoids the computation of divided differences:

Coefficients of an Interpolating
Polynomial
• Although both the Newton and Lagrange
polynomials are well suited for determining
intermediate values between points, they do not
provide a polynomial in conventional form:
f ( x)  a0  a1x  a2 x   ax x

n
• Since n+1 data points are required to determine n+1
coefficients, simultaneous linear systems of equations
can be used to calculate “a”s.

Spline Interpolation
• There are cases where polynomials can lead to
erroneous results because of round off error
and overshoot.
• Alternative approach is to apply lower-order
polynomials to subsets of data points. Such
connecting polynomials are called spline
functions.
