Generation of Multivariate Hermite Interpolating Polynomials

Front Cover
CRC Press, Aug 23, 2005 - Mathematics - 704 pages
This text advances the study of approximate solutions to partial differential equations by formulating a novel approach that employs Hermite interpolating polynomials and by supplying algorithms useful in applying this approach. The book's three sections examine constrained numbers, Hermite interpolating polynomials, and selected applications. The authors outline the rules for writing the algorithms and then present them in pseudo-code. Next, they define the properties that characterize the Hermite interpolating polynomials, propose an expression and demonstrate an algorithm for generating the polynomials, and show the advantages of this new technique over the classical approach.
