PWL_INTERP_1D
Piecewise Linear Interpolation in 1D


PWL_INTERP_1D is a FORTRAN90 library which interpolates a set of data with a piecewise linear function, creating graphics files for processing by GNUPLOT.

The PWL_INTERP_1D test code needs the R8LIB and TEST_INTERP libraries.

Related Data and Programs:

BARYCENTRIC_INTERP_1D, a FORTRAN90 library which defines and evaluates the barycentric Lagrange polynomial p(x) which interpolates a set of data, so that p(x(i)) = y(i). The barycentric approach means that very high degree polynomials can safely be used.
