This is an expanding tutorial series… stay tuned for more content, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. The reason is that Interpolations.jl is applying an optimized version for the uniformly spaced case (when x is of type LinRange), and in particular, doesn’t need to use the searchsortedfirst function. It is also about 2X slower than the uniformly-sampled case: x = LinRange(0,1,400) Itp = LinearInterpolation(x, y, extrapolation_bc = Line() ) The conditions on k = length(x) give rise to linear extrapolation outside of the boundaries of x.Īt the time of writing this, this simple function is slightly faster than the corresponding one in Interpolations.jl, for the case of non-uniformly sampled data. Given an explicit set of barycentric weights, Lagrange interpolation can be implemented as follows: function LagrangeInterp1D( fvals, xnodes, barw, t ) $$ p(x) = a_1 x^ $$ Lagrange Interpolation Algorithm
The Vandermonde MatrixĪ polynomial in the canonical basis (or power form) is given by
It can also be employed to approximate the solution of important problems in physics and engineering, such as the solution of differential and integral equations. Interpolation is not only important as a tool to approximate complicated but well-known functions. Given the flexibility of this approach, it is employed very often in many areas of numerical computing. Trying to use polynomials for the approximation of complicated functions seems a very desirable goal to achieve.Ī classical approach to polynomial interpolation is to specify \( n + 1\) points at which a polynomial of degree \( n \) should match a given function.Īnother approach we will discuss is that of interpolation by splines, that is, piecewise polynomial approximation. They are very convenient to use for numerical purposes, as they are based on just additions and multiplications. Polynomials are one of the simplest yet more powerful objects in mathematics.
