PADUA
2D Pointsets for Interpolation or Integration


PADUA is a C library which returns the coordinates of the 2D Padua points, as well as interpolation weights or quadrature weights, and images of the points in gnuplot graphics files.

GNUPLOT, C programs which illustrate how a program can write data and command files so that gnuplot can create plots of the program results.

LAGRANGE_INTERP_2D, a C library which defines and evaluates the Lagrange polynomial p(x,y) which interpolates a set of data depending on a 2D argument that was evaluated on a product grid, so that p(x(i),y(j)) = z(i,j).

PWL_INTERP_2D, a C library which evaluates a piecewise linear interpolant to data defined on a regular 2D grid.

QUADRATURE_WEIGHTS_VANDERMONDE_2D, a C library which computes the weights of a 2D quadrature rule using the Vandermonde matrix, assuming that the points have been specified.
