| dc.description | A new C∞ interpolant is presented for the univariate Hermite interpolation problem. It differs from the classical solution in that the interpolant is of non-polynomial nature. Its basis functions are a set of simple, compact support, transcendental functions. The interpolant can be regarded as a truncated Multipoint Taylor series. It has essential singularities at the sample points, but is well behaved over the real axis and satisfies the given functional data. The interpolant converges to the underlying real-analytic function when (i) the number of derivatives at each point tends to infinity and the number of sample points remains finite, and when (ii) the spacing between sample points tends to zero and the number of specified derivatives at each sample point remains finite. A comparison is made between the numerical results achieved with the new method and those obtained with polynomial Hermite interpolation. In contrast with the classical polynomial solution, the new interpolant does not suffer from any ill conditioning, so it is always numerically stable. In addition, it is a much more computationally efficient method than the polynomial approach. | |
