TEST_INTERP_ND
Test Functions for Multidimensional Interpolation

TEST_INTERP_ND is a C library which provides test functions for multidimensional interpolation.

All the functions are defined over the unit hypercube [0,1]^M, for arbitrary spatial dimension M. They include:

1. Oscillatory;
2. Product Peak;
3. Corner Peak;
4. Gaussian;
5. Continuous;
6. Discontinuous;

For each function, methods are provided to evaluate:

• the function, f(x);
• the derivative with respect to any coordinate, dfdx(i);
• the integral of f(x) over the unit hypercube;

Most of the functions include a shift vector w whose entries can be chosen randomly in the unit hypercube, and a coefficient vector c whose entries should be positive, and for which the integration problem becomes harder as the sum of the entries increases.

TEST_INTERP_ND requires access to the R8LIB library.
