Interpolation Library
Detailed Description
Interpolation schemes.
Interpolators are used when there is a set of computed data points, but the user requires the approximated data between these data points. The interpolator creates a functional approximation of the intermediate data using any number of calculated mesh points.
- The interpolator creates and stores the parameters corresponding to the interpolation function and functional representation. The user must enter a set of time values (independent variables) and a set of corresponding data values to be interpolated (dependent variables). Once the interpolation has been computer and has stored the functional representation, the user can Evaluate the interpolation at any point in between the valid mesh points.
- Derived Classes
- Each derived interpolation is a specific algorithm that determines an interpolation based upon the described scheme. This may include linear, lagrangian, hermitian, or a cubic spline interpolation. The user needs to query the GetNumberDataPoints to determine how many mesh points are required to perform interpolation (the higher the order, the more number of data points). Some interpolations may also require higher order terms (first- and second-derivatives) of the dependent variables. Consult the specific class's documentation.
