This document discusses interpolation techniques, specifically Lagrange interpolation. It begins by introducing the problem of interpolation - given values of an unknown function f(x) at discrete points, finding a simple function that approximates f(x).
It then discusses using Taylor series polynomials for interpolation when the function value and its derivatives are known at a point. The error in interpolation approximations is also examined.
The main part discusses Lagrange interpolation - given data points (xi, f(xi)), there exists a unique interpolating polynomial Pn(x) of degree N that passes through all the points. This is proved using the non-zero Vandermonde determinant. Lagrange's interpolating polynomial is then introduced as a solution.
The document discusses interpolation and divided differences. It defines interpolation as finding the value of a dependent variable y for an independent variable x within the range of known x-values. Extrapolation is finding the value of y for an x outside this range. Lagrange interpolation uses a polynomial to find values that match the known (x,y) points. The error of interpolation is defined. Divided differences are introduced as a way to define polynomials used in Newton's interpolation formula. The relations between divided differences and forward differences are also covered.

In this article we study a general model of nonlinear difference equations including small parameters of multiple scales. For two kinds of perturbations, we describe algorithmic methods giving asymptotic solutions to boundary value problems.
The problem of existence and uniqueness of the solution is also addressed.
The document discusses Fourier series and their applications. It begins by introducing how Fourier originally developed the technique to study heat transfer and how it can represent periodic functions as an infinite series of sine and cosine terms. It then provides the definition and examples of Fourier series representations. The key points are that Fourier series decompose a function into sinusoidal basis functions with coefficients determined by integrating the function against each basis function. The series may converge to the original function under certain conditions.
Newton divided difference interpolationVISHAL DONGA
This document presents Newton's divided difference polynomial method of interpolation. It defines interpolation as finding the value of 'y' at an unspecified value of 'x' given a set of (x,y) data points. Newton's method uses divided differences to determine the coefficients of a polynomial that can be used to interpolate and estimate y-values between the given data points.

This document discusses methods for solving algebraic and transcendental equations. It begins by defining key terms like roots, simple roots, and multiple roots. It then distinguishes between direct and iterative methods. Direct methods provide exact solutions, while iterative methods use successive approximations that converge to the exact root. The document focuses on iterative methods and describes how to obtain initial approximations, including using Descartes' rule of signs and the intermediate value theorem. It also discusses criteria for terminating iterations. One iterative method described in detail is the method of false position, which approximates the curve defined by the equation as a straight line between two points.
S1. Fixed point iteration is a numerical method for solving equations of the form x = g(x) by making an initial guess x0 and repeatedly substituting xn into the right side to obtain xn+1.
S2. The method converges if |g'(α)| < 1, where α is the root and g' is the derivative of g. This ensures the error decreases at each iteration.
S3. Examples show the method can converge rapidly, as in Newton's method, or diverge, depending on the properties of g near the root. Aitken extrapolation can provide a better estimate of the root than the current iterate xn.

3) Secant method, which is faster than bisection but slower than Newton's, and also requires starting points close to the root. Newton's and secant methods can be extended to systems of nonlinear equations.

Unique fixed point theorems for generalized weakly contractive condition in o...Alexander Decker
This document summarizes a research paper that proves some new fixed point theorems for generalized weakly contractive mappings in ordered partial metric spaces. The paper extends previous theorems proved by Nashine and Altun in 2017. It presents definitions of partial metric spaces and properties. It proves a new fixed point theorem (Theorem 2.1) for nondecreasing mappings on ordered partial metric spaces that satisfy a generalized contractive condition. The theorem shows the mapping has a fixed point and the partial metric of the fixed point to itself is 0. It uses properties of partial metrics, contractive conditions and continuity to prove the sequence generated by iterating the mapping is Cauchy and converges.
A polynomial interpolation algorithm is developed using the Newton's divided-difference interpolating polynomials. The definition of monotony of a function is then used to define the least degree of the polynomial to make efficient and consistent the interpolation in the discrete given function. The relation between the order of monotony of a particular function and the degree of the interpolating polynomial is justified, analyzing the relation between the derivatives of such function and the truncation error expression. In this algorithm there is not matter about the number and the arrangement of the data points, neither if the points are regularly spaced or not. The algorithm thus defined can be used to make interpolations in functions of one and several dependent variables. The algoritm automatically select the data points nearest to the point where an interpolation is desired, following the criterion of symmetry. Indirectly, the algorithm also select the number of data points, which is a unity higher than the order of the used polynomial, following the criterion of monotony. Finally, the complete algoritm is presented and subroutines in fortran code is exposed as an addendum. Notice that there is not the degree of the interpolating polynomial within the arguments of such subroutines.

Solution
An interpolation assignment generally entails a given set of information points: in which the
values yi can,
xi x0 x1 ... xn
f(xi) y0 y1 ... yn
for instance, be the result of a few bodily measurement or they can come from a long
numerical calculation. hence we know the fee of the underlying characteristic f(x) at the set
of points xi, and we want to discover an analytic expression for f .
In interpolation, the assignment is to estimate f(x) for arbitrary x that lies among the smallest
and the most important xi
. If x is out of doors the variety of the xi’s, then the task is called extrapolation,
which is substantially greater unsafe.
with the aid of far the maximum not unusual useful paperwork utilized in interpolation are the
polynomials.
different picks encompass, as an instance, trigonometric functions and spline features
(mentioned
later during this direction).
Examples of different sorts of interpolation responsibilities include:
1. Having the set of n + 1 information factors xi
, yi, we want to understand the fee of y in the
complete c program languageperiod x = [x0, xn]; i.e. we need to find a simple formulation
which reproduces
the given points exactly.
2. If the set of statistics factors contain errors (e.g. if they are measured values), then we
ask for a components that represents the records, and if feasible, filters out the errors.
3. A feature f may be given within the shape of a pc system which is high priced
to assess. In this case, we want to find a characteristic g which offers a very good
approximation of f and is simpler to assess.
2 Polynomial interpolation
2.1 Interpolating polynomial
Given a fixed of n + 1 records points xi
, yi, we need to discover a polynomial curve that passes
via all the factors. as a consequence, we search for a non-stop curve which takes at the values yi
for every of the n+1 wonderful xi’s.
A polynomial p for which p(xi) = yi whilst zero i n is stated to interpolate the given set of
records points. The factors xi are known as nodes.
The trivial case is n = zero. right here a steady function p(x) = y0 solves the hassle.
The only case is n = 1. In this situation, the polynomial p is a directly line described via
p(x) =
xx1
x0 x1
y0 +
xx0
x1 x0
y1
= y0 +
y1 y0
x1 x0
(xx0)
here p is used for linear interpolation.
As we will see, the interpolating polynomial may be written in an expansion of paperwork,
among
these are the Newton shape and the Lag.
This document discusses using the Newton-Raphson iterative method to solve chemical equilibrium problems. It begins by introducing fixed point theory and the Newton-Raphson method for solving nonlinear equations. It then describes applying this method to determine the O reactant ratio that produces an adiabatic equilibrium temperature in the chemical reaction of partial methane oxidation. Specifically, it develops a system of seven nonlinear equations and uses the Newton-Raphson method to iteratively solve for the fixed point and desired chemical equilibrium conditions.
Let's analyze the remainder term R6 using the geometry series method:
|tj+1| = (j+1)π-2 ≤ π-2 = k|tj| for all j ≥ 6 (where 0 < k = π-2 < 1)
Then, |R6| ≤ t7(1 + k + k2 + k3 + ...)
= t7/(1-k)
= 7π-2/(1-π-2)
So the estimated upper bound of the truncation error |R6| is 7π-2/(1-π-2)
This document discusses various methods for polynomial interpolation of data points, including Newton's divided difference interpolating polynomials and Lagrange interpolation polynomials.

It also covers an example of using multiple linear regression with log-transformed data to develop a model relating fluid flow through a pipe to the pipe's diameter and slope.
The document defines and provides examples of polynomials. It discusses that a polynomial is an algebraic expression with terms of increasing powers of a variable and constant coefficients. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its terms. Zeros or roots are numbers that make the polynomial equal to zero. The document provides methods for factorizing polynomials by splitting middle terms and finding all factors to determine all zeros. It also establishes relationships between the coefficients and zeros of a quadratic polynomial.
This document describes a stochastic block-coordinate fixed point algorithm. The algorithm updates blocks of variables sequentially in each iteration, where the block to update is chosen randomly. This allows processing high-dimensional problems with less memory than updating all blocks at once. The algorithm is proven to converge almost surely to a fixed point under certain assumptions, such as the operators being quasinonexpansive. Linear convergence can be achieved in the absence of errors, though stochastic errors slow convergence to a non-linear rate. The influence of deterministic versus random block selection is also discussed.
1. Power series representations allow functions to be written as an infinite sum of terms involving integer powers of x. This representation is valid over a specific interval called the interval of convergence.
2. Common functions like 1/(1-x) and ln(1+x) have known power series representations that can be derived. Other representations can be found by substituting variables in known series or integrating/differentiating terms.
3. Power series allow functions to be approximated by polynomials on their interval of convergence. The error of such approximations can be estimated and partial sums can provide approximations to a desired accuracy level like integrals.
This document contains the solution to a problem involving a sequence of continuously differentiable functions defined by a recurrence relation. The solution shows that:

3) Uniform convergence on compact subsets is proved using Dini's theorem and properties of the operator.

This document discusses the application of fixed-point theorems to solve ordinary differential equations. It begins by introducing the Banach contraction principle and proving it. It then states two other important fixed-point theorems - the Schauder-Tychonoff theorem and the Leray-Schauder theorem. The rest of the document focuses on proving the Schauder-Tychonoff theorem, which characterizes compact subsets of function spaces and shows that if an operator maps into a relatively compact subset, it has a fixed point. This allows the fixed-point theorems to be applied to finding solutions to differential equations.

The rest of the document focuses on proving the Schauder-Tychonoff theorem, which characterizes compact subsets of function spaces and shows that if an operator maps into a relatively compact subset, it has a fixed point. This allows the fixed-point theorems to be applied to finding solutions to differential equations.
S1. Fixed point iteration is a numerical method for solving equations of the form x = g(x) by making an initial guess x0 and repeatedly substituting xn into the right side to obtain xn+1.
S2. The method converges if g(x) is continuous and λ, the maximum absolute value of the derivative of g(x), is less than 1.
S3. Examples show that fixed point iteration can converge slowly if the derivative of g(x) at the root is close to 1, and Aitken's method can be used to accelerate convergence by extrapolating the iterates.
On Application of the Fixed-Point Theorem to the Solution of Ordinary Differe...BRNSS Publication Hub
We know that a large number of problems in differential equations can be reduced to finding the solution x to an equation of the form Tx=y. The operator T maps a subset of a Banach space X into another Banach space Y and y is a known element of Y. If y=0 and Tx=Ux−x, for another operator U, the equation Tx=y is equivalent to the equation Ux=x. Naturally, to solve Ux=x, we must assume that the range R (U) and the domain D (U) have points in common. Points x for which Ux=x are called fixed points of the operator U. In this work, we state the main fixed-point theorems that are most widely used in the field of differential equations. These are the Banach contraction principle, the Schauder–Tychonoff theorem, and the Leray–Schauder theorem. We will only prove the first theorem and then proceed.

The document defines key concepts related to sequences and limits in multivariable calculus including open balls, open and closed sets, accumulation points, bounded sequences, and convergence of sequences in Rn. It proves that a set is closed if and only if it contains all its limit points. It also proves that every bounded sequence in Rn contains a convergent subsequence using the Bolzano-Weierstrass theorem and taking subsequences of the coordinates.
This document discusses representations and operations for polynomials. It begins by defining polynomials and their coefficient and point-value representations. It then summarizes common operations like addition, multiplication, evaluation, and converting between representations. A key part discusses using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to multiply polynomials much more efficiently than brute force. The FFT takes advantage of evaluating polynomials at complex roots of unity to perform the multiplication in O(n log n) time versus O(n^2) for brute force.
This document contains exercises related to dynamical systems and periodic points. It includes the following summaries:
1. The doubling map on the circle has 2n-1 periodic points of period n. Its periodic points are dense.
2. The map f(x)=|x-2| has a fixed point at x=1. Other periodic and pre-periodic points are [0,2]\{1\} of period 2 and (-∞,0)∪(2,+∞) which are pre-periodic.
3. Expanding maps of the circle are topologically mixing since intervals get longer under iteration, eventually covering the entire circle.

This document describes an algorithm to compute the nth Fibonacci number using recursive squaring in better than linear time. It does this by raising the matrix ((1,1),(1,0)) to the nth power using recursive squaring. If n is even, it recursively computes An/2 and multiplies it by itself. If n is odd, it recursively computes A(n-1)/2 and multiplies it by itself and the original matrix A. This allows it to compute An in O(log n) time rather than the naive O(n) linear time approach. Pseudocode and a C++ implementation are provided.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.

2. Introduction
Say that, in the study of some phenomenon, there is an established functional
relationship between the quantities y and x; but the function f(x) is unknown.
The experiment has established the values of the function y0, y1, . . . , yN for cer-
tain values of the argument x0, x1, . . . , xN in the interval [x0, xN ]. We don't
have an analytic expression for f(x). The problem is then to nd a function (as
simple as possible from the computational stand-point; for example a polyno-
mial) which will represent the unknown function y = f(x).
In more abstract fashion, the problem may be formulated as follows: given on
the interval [x0, xN ], the values of an unknown function y = f(x) at N + 1
distinct points x0, x1, . . . , xN , such that,
y0 = f(x0), y1 = f(x1), . . . , yN = f(xN )
It is required to nd a polynomial P(x) of degree≤ n that approximately
expresses the function f(x). Further, the task is to estimate f(x) for some
target value of x.
Interpolating polynomial given one data point and
its higher order derivatives
Say that, we are required to t a polynomial P(x), at a point x = x0, where
the value of the function and the value of its rst n derivatives at that point
f(x0), f (x), f(2)
(x), . . . , f(n)
(x) are given. Then, the Taylor's series expansion
of the function in terms of a polynomial of degree n over the interval [x0, x] is
the interpolating polynomial. This is intuitive, because the Taylor's series
polynomial and its higher order derivatives have the same values as the function
and its derivatives.
The Taylor's series expansion of a function f(x) over the interval [x0, x], such
that Pn(x0) = f(x0), Pn(x0) = f (x0), Pn (x0) = f (x0), . . . , P
(n)
n (x0) = f(n)
(x0)
is given as
Pn(x) = f(x0) + (x−x0)
1! f (x0) + (x−x0)2
2! f (x0) + . . . + (x−x0)n
n! f(n)
(x) + Rn(x)
Rn(x) is called the remainder. For those values of x, for which the Rn(x) is small,
the polynomial Pn(x) yields an approximate representation of the function f(x).
On interpolating any value using the polynomial Pn(x), it is necessary to know,
the degree of accuracy of the estimate, or the error. The remainder term can
be expressed in the form
Rn(x) = (x−x0)(n+1)
(n+1)! f(n+1)
(ξ), where x0 ξ x
1
3. Error term
The error in an interpolation is of prime importance. For example, we may be
given N = 1000 data points. To construct an interpolating polynomial, we may
use only M = 4 points. What will be the error in that approximation. Further,
is there an upper bound on the error - what is the largest possible error in that
interpolation. The answers to these questions will be known through the error
term.
We have,
Rn(x) =
1
(n + 1)!
· |(x − x0)|n+1
· |fn+1
(ξ)|
≤
1
(n + 1)!
· |(x − x0)|n+1
· Mn+1
where Mn+1 is the maximum value of fn+1
(ξ) over an interval [x0, x].
Assume that an estimate of Mn+1is available. Suppose, we are asked to con-
struct a 5-term Taylor's series. Say, we desire have an error no more than an
acceptable tolerance, that is|Rn(x)| . To fulll this condition, we must have,
|Rn(x)| = 1
(n+1)! · |(x − x0)|n+1
· Mn+1
Conclusions:
1. If the tolerance and the number of terms in the Taylor's series n are given
to us, then we can easily nd out the distance h from the point x0, so that the
accuracy is retained.

4. 2. If the distance h and the tolerance are given, we can solve for n, the number
of terms required in the Taylor's series, so that the accuracy is retained.
Example. Obtain the polynomial approximation to f(x) =

interval [0, 1] by means of Taylor's series, about the point x0 = 0.

Interpolating polynomial for a table of data points
Suppose, we are given N + 1 data points.
x x0 x1 . . . xi . . . xn
f(x) f(x0) f(x1) . . . f(xi) . . . f(xn)
In the rectangular plane,
• given N = 2 distinct points, we can always construct a straight line; a
polynomial P1(x) of order 1 that passes through these two points.
• given N = 3 distinct points, we can always construct a quadratic, a poly-
nomial P2(x) of order 2 that passes through these two points. In an ex-
treme case, if all the 3 points lie on a straight line, then it will degenerate
into a polynomial of order 1. Hence, through N = 3 points, a polynomial
P2(x) of order ≤ 2 can be constructed.
• given N = 4 distinct points, we can always construct a cubic, a polynomial
P3(x) of order ≤ 3 that passes through these three points.
• given N +1 distinct points, we can always construct a polynomial of order
≤ N that passes through these two points.
The existence of this fact can also be proved mathematically.

6. Theorem. Given N + 1 data points, there exists a unique interpolating poly-
nomial Pn(x) of order N, which ts these points.
Proof.
Suppose the interpolating polynomial is of the form
Pn(x) = C0 + C1x + C2x2
+ . . . + Cnxn
This polynomial ts the N + 1 data points, (xi, f(xi)) : i = 0, 1, . . . , N. There-
fore, these points must satisfy the equation of the polynomial. We have,
f(x0) = C0 + C1x0 + C2x2

f(xN ) = C0 + C1xN + C2x2

This is a system of N + 1 equations in N + 1 unknowns C0, C1, . . . , CN . We
are to determine C0, C1, . . . , CN . If a unique solution for C0, C1, . . . , CN exists,
then the interpolating polynomial exists uniquely. A unique solution exists if
and only if, the determinant of the coecients of these variables must not be
equal to 0.

Vandermonde's determinant is non-zero. Hence, a unique solution C0, C1, . . . , CN
exists.
We can further prove that the interpolating polynomial is also unique.
Let P∗
n(x) be another polynomial which ts the given data. This means, P∗
n(xi) =
f(xi) for all i.
Let us dene an auxiliary function,
Q(x) = Pn(x) − P∗
n(x)
Since, both Pn(x) and P∗
n(x) are polynomials of degree ≤ n, the auxiliary func-
tion Q(x) must be a polynomial of degree ≤ n.
6
8. Now,
Q(xi) = Pn(xi) − P∗
n(xi) = 0, for all i = 0, 1, . . . , n
Observe that Q(x) vanishes at n+1 points, and thus has n+1 roots. But, Q(x)
is a polynomial of degree ≤ n. This is possible if and only if, Q(x) is identically
equal to 0.
Q(x) ≡ 0
Pn(x) ≡ P∗
n(x)
Thus, the interpolating polynomial Pn(x) is unique.
Lagrange's interpolating polynomial
Given N + 1 data points, we are asked to nd the interpolating polynomial
Pn(x) that ts these points.
x x0 x1 . . . xi . . . xn
f(x) f(x0) f(x1) . . . f(xi) . . . f(xn)
Since, the polynomial satises all of these points, it must be a linear combination
of all f(xi)'s.
Let
Pn(x) = l0(x)f(x0)+l1(x)f(x1)+l2(x)f(x2)+. . .+li(x)f(xi)+. . .+ln(x)f(xn)
As noted in the previous section Pn(x) is a polynomial of degree n. f(x0), f(x1),
f(x2), . . ., f(xn) are all numbers. Therefore, the only possibility is that li(x)
for all i = 0, 1, 2, . . . , n should be polynomials of degree n. Since, Pn(x) ts all
the data points, we must have,
f(x0) = Pn(x0) = l0(x0)f(x0) + l1(x0)f(x1) + l2(x0)f(x2) + . . . + li(x0)f(xi) + . . . + ln(x0)f(xn)
f(x1) = Pn(x1) = l0(x1)f(x0) + l1(x1)f(x1) + l2(x1)f(x2) + . . . + li(x1)f(xi) + . . . + ln(x1)f(xn)
...
f(xj) = Pn(xj) = l0(xj)f(x0) + l1(xj)f(x1) + l2(xj)f(x2) + . . . + li(xj)f(xi) + . . . + ln(xj)f(xn)
...
f(xn) = Pn(xn) = l0(xn)f(x0) + l1(xn)f(x1) + l2(xn)f(x2) + . . . + li(xn)f(xi) + . . . + ln(xn)f(xn)
The above conditions are satised, if and only if, the polynomial functions l(x)
are such that,
li(xj) =
1, i = j
0, i = j
These polynomials are called Lagrange fundamental polynomials. Let us
dene li(x) therefore in the following way:
7
9. li(x) =
(x − x0)(x − x1)(x − x2) . . . (x − xi−1)(x − xi+1) . . . (x − xn)
(xi − x0)(xi − x1)(xi − x2) . . . (xi − xi−1)(xi − xi+1) . . . (xi − xn)
This satises the property that li(xj) = 0 for i = j, and li(xj) = 1 for i = j.
Also, note that li(x) is a polynomial of degree n.
We can express li(x) in the below form.
Let w(x) = (x − x0)(x − x1)(x − x2) . . . (x − xi−1)(x − xi)(x − xi+1) . . . (x − xn).
Then,
w (xi) = (xi − x0)(xi − x1)(xi − x2) . . . (xi − xi−1)(xi − xi+1) . . . (xi − xn)
Li(x) =
w(x)
(x − xi)w (x)
Linear Interpolation
In linear interpolation, we are interested to nd a straight-line passing through
the two points (x0, f(x0)) and (x1, f(x1)). Then,
l0(x) =
x − x1
(x0 − x1)
l1(x) =

P1(1.5) = 3(1.5) − 1 = 3.5
Quadratic Interpolation
In quadratic interpolation, we are interested to nd a quadratic curve passing
through the two points (x0, f(x0)), (x1, f(x1)) and (x2, f(x2)). Then,
l0(x) =
(x − x1)(x − x2)
(x0 − x1)(x0 − x2)

(x2 − x0)(x2 − x1)
P2(x) = l0(x) · f(x0) + l1(x) · f(x1) + l2(x)f(x2)
Example. Construct the quadratic polynomial which ts the data (1, 2), (2, 5),
(4, 17) . Predict the value at x = 3.

Neville's method
Conceptually, the interpolation process has two stages: (1) Fit (once) an inter-
polating function to the data points provided. (2) Evaluate as many times as
you wish that interpolating function at a target point x. However, this two-
stage method is usually not the best way to proceed in practice. Typically, it
is computationally less ecient, than methods that construct and estimate of
f(x) directly from the N tabulated values, every time one is desired. Neville's
method is one such method.
For concreteness, we shall consider three distinct points (x0, f(x0)), (x1, f(x1))
and (x2, f(x2)). Also, suppose that, we would like to approximate the value of
the function at x = p.
From each of these three points, we can construct a constant, zero-order
polynomial to approximate f(p).
f(p) ≈ P0(p) = f(x0)
9
11. f(p) ≈ P1(p) = f(x1)
f(p) ≈ P2(p) = f(x2)
Of course, this isn't a very good approximation, so we turn to the rst order
Lagrange polynomials.
LetP01(x) be a linear interpolation of the points (x0, f(x0)) and (x1, f(x1)).
Thus, P01(x) is a linear interpolation of P0(x) and P1(x).
LetP12(x) be a linear interpolation of the points (x1, f(x1)) and (x2, f(x2)).
Thus, P12(x) is a linear interpolation of P1(x) and P2(x).
P01(x) = (x−x1)
(x0−x1) f(x0) + (x−x0)
(x1−x0) f(x1) = (x−x1)
(x0−x1) · P0(x) − (x−x0)
(x0−x1) · P1(x)
P12(x) = (x−x2)
(x1−x2) f(x1) + (x−x1)
(x2−x1) f(x2) = (x−x2)
(x1−x2) · P0(x) − (x−x0)
(x1−x2) · P2(x)
In general, we are applying linear interpolation toPi(x) and Pi+1(x). The result
are polynomials of one degree higher then either of the two used to construct
and that interpolates all of the points of the individual polynomials combined.
Further, let P012(x) be a linear interpolation of the points P01(x), P12(x).
P012(x) = (x−x2)
(x0−x2) · P01(x) − (x−x0)
(x0−x2) · P12(x)
This can be expressed in the form of a table, whose columns are evaluated from
left-to-right. The polynomials for N = 4 are shown below.
i xi m = 0 m = 1 m = 2 m = 3
0 x0 P0
P01
1 x1 P1 P012
P12 P0123
2 x2 P2 P123
P23
3 x3 P3
In general we have,
Pi...(i+m)(x) =
(x − x(i+m))Pi...(i+m−1) − (x − xi)P(i+1)...(i+m)
(xi − x(i+m))

Error of interpolation
Let us denote the error of interpolation as,
En(f; x) = f(x) − Pn(x)
We are also given the N + 1 data points.
x x0 x1 . . . xi . . . xn
f(x) f(x0) f(x1) . . . f(xi) . . . f(xn)
Since, the interpolating polynomial ts the above data points, there is no error
at the nodal points.
En(f; xi) = f(xi) − P(xi) = 0
Let us denote the rst point x0 = a and the last point xn = b. Let us choose
an arbitrary point x at which we are interpolating f(x). Therefore, x ∈ [a, b].
Let us dene an auxiliary function,
g(t) = [f(t) − P(t)] − [f(x) − P(x)] (t−x0)(t−x1)...(t−xn)
(x−x0)(x−x1)...(x−xn)
g(t) is a continuous function.
11
13. (i) At t = x,g(x) = 0.
(ii) At t = xi, g(xi) = f(xi) − P(xi) = 0
Thus, the function g(t) vanishes at N + 2 points, x0, x1, x2, . . . , xn. Also, g(t)
is dierentiable on each of the sub-intervals [x0, x1], [x1, x2], . . . , [xn−1, xn].
Applying Rolle's theorem, there must be atleast one point c1, c2, . . . , ci, . . . , cn
in each of these sub-intervals such that g (ci) = 0.
Now, if we apply Rolle's theorem to the function g (t) over the sub-intervals
[c1, c2], [c2, c3], . . . , [cn−1, cn], then there exist points di : i = 1, 2, . . . , n − 1 in
each of these sub-intervals where the second derivative g (t) = 0.
Continuing in this fashion and applying Rolle's theorem iteratively n + 1 times
(since there are N + 2 points), there must be atleast one point in the interval
ξ ∈ [x0, xn], such that g(n+1)
(ξ) = 0.
Let us now dierentiate g(t), n + 1 times. Note that P(t) is a polynomial of
degree n. Hence, its (n + 1)'th derivative is zero.
g(n+1)
(ξ) = f(n+1)
(ξ) − 0 − [f(x)−P (x)](n+1)!
(x−x0)(x−x1)...(x−xn)
But, g(n+1)
(ξ) = 0.
Therefore, En(f; x) = f(x) − P(x) = f(n+1)
(ξ) · w(x)
(n+1)!
The magnitude of f(x) − P(x), would be:
|f(x) − P(x)| = 1
(n+1)! · |w(x)| · |f(n+1)
(ξ)|
Since ξ is unknown to us, we don't know, what is the exact value of f(n+1)
(ξ)
is. But, we can establish an upper bound on the error. We take the maximum
possible value of f(n+1)
(x). Therefore,
|f(x) − P(x)| ≤ 1
(n+1)! · max |w(x)| · max |f(n+1)
(x)|
Error in linear interpolation
We can express E1(f; x) as,
E1(f; x) = f (ξ) · (x−x0)(x−x1)
2!
|E1(f; x)| ≤ 1
2 max |f (x)| · max |(x − x0)(x − x1)|
The maximum of the expression (x − x0)(x − x1) is found by setting the rst
derivative to zero.
h(x) = x2
− (x0 + x1)x + x0x1
h (x) = 2x − (x0 + x1)
The function h(x) has a maximum at x = x0+x1

is, h x0+x1

14. Let us further denote the distance between the two points x0and x1, that is
x1 − x0 = h. Then, max |(x − x0)(x − x1)| = h2
4 . Therefore,
|E1(f; x)| ≤ 1
2 max |f (x)| · h2
4 .
Let us denote max |f (x)| by M2. Then,
|E1(f; x)| ≤ h2
8 · M2
Error in quadratic interpolation
We can write,
|E2(f; x)| ≤ 1
3! · max |(x − x0)(x − x1)(x − x3)| · M3
In the special case, that the data is equispaced, then we can nd a simple
expression for maximum error. If x0, x1, x2 are equispaced, then we can call the
distance x − x1 = t, x − x0 = t − h and x − x2 = t + h.
Let us call represent the function y(x) as,
y(x) = (x − x0)(x − x1)(x − x3)
= (t − h)t(t + h)
