lagrange_interp_2d, a FORTRAN90 code 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).
If the data is available on a product grid, then both the LAGRANGE_INTERP_2D and VANDERMONDE_INTERP_2D libraries will be trying to compute the same interpolating function. However, especially for higher degree polynomials, the Lagrange approach will be superior because it avoids the badly conditioned Vandermonde matrix associated with the usage of monomials as the basis. The Lagrange approach uses as a basis a set of Lagrange basis polynomials l(i,j)(x) which are 1 at node (x(i),y(j)) and zero at the other nodes.
The code needs access to the R8LIB library. The test also needs the TEST_INTERP_2D library.
